For one thing the bees would not be able to swarm with a queen.
 
For another, they would also be unable to replace a queen who either had
died or was no longer performing satisfactorily. Naturally, any queen
they
raised would be unable to make her mating flight.
 
I do not understand why any one would want to do this, but then...???
maybe
a commercial beekeeper might want to do it for a very limited time period
for
one reason or another.
