Best Answer

Worker bees live 6 to 8 weeks in summer, depending on conditions.

A queen can live 1 to 4 years, but in a managed colony is replaced yearly.

Drones live 6 to 8 weeks, or less if evicted on approach of winter, or if, when sexually mature at 16 days they mate, they will die.
A queen bee can live for two to five years.

Drones (males) live for 40 to 50 days

Worker bees live for five or six weeks in the spring and summer and autumn, but can live for around four months over the winter.
