i think it dies It does die. The male bee (drone) actually deposits its genitalia inside the queen bee in a semi-explosive transfer that can be heard as an audible popping. Such a vivsections commits the Drone to a rather painful suffering and eventual death.

How long does a drone bee mate with a queen bee?
A virgin queen will leave the hive on a mating flight about a week after she emerges from the brood cell. She will emit a mating pheromone which will attract drones from quite an area around. The drones will persue the queen and eventually mating will take place. Copulation with a single drone only takes a matter of a few seconds. The queen will usually mate with between ten and 20 drones, until her spermatheca (the sac in which she stores the sperm) is full. The queen will then return to the hive and will not leave it again except, perhaps, with a swarm. The stock of sperm in her spermatheca will last her for her entire productive life -- two to five years.
What is the lifespan of a drone honey bee?
Potentially a drone could live for about four months, but a drone that is successful in mating with a queen will die during the act, whatever its age. Also, in the autumn, all drones are dragged to the hive entrance by the workers and thrown out, and they die. This is because they have no purpose over the winter, do no work and would be a drain on hive resources. New drones are produced in the spring.
Can male bee sing?
No, male bees (drones) do not have a sting. Worker bees (all female) have a barbed sting which is left behind when the bee stings. The bee will then die. The queen bee has a smooth sting which she can withdraw, so she is able to sting more than once.
What is a bees life span?
A queen bee can live for three to five years. A drone (male) can live for up to four months, but if it mates with a queen it will die after mating, whatever its age. Also, as winter approaches, all drones will be thrown out of the hive by the workers, fall to the ground and die. New drones will be bred in the spring. Worker bees (all female) live for up to six to seven weeks in the summer, and can live for up to four months in the winter.
What are the mating habits of bees?
bees mate twenty feet off the ground doing thirty miles per hr. Fact(Not sure where that person got that answer.) but another answer is the Queen and the Drones mate and no one else, the queen needs to mate with 18 different drones and the sperm will last the rest of he life (2 years) and they mate in the hive, not 20 feet of the ground at 30 mph.Honey bees most certainly DO NOT mate in the hive. A virgin Queen leaves the hive on a mating flight when she is about five days old and will mate (while flying) with approximately thirty drones, all of whom will die after mating. That one mating will last for the rest of her life which can be up to five years. However, beekeepers tend to cull and replace their queens after two years to maximise efficiency. If the bees are living in the wild, they will supersede the queen themselves if they are unhappy with her egg-laying performance.In fact, the latest research shows that up to fifty drones may be involved in the mating of each virgin queen..
How long does a drone bee live after mating with a queen?
Drones are ejected from the colony by the worker bees at the end of the season and are no longer needed. Because the drones aren't able to look after themselves, they starve to death.
How many times can a drone bee mate?
Only once because drones die during the act of mating.
What would happen to a bee colony if there were no drones?
Drones are the male bees in a colony. Their only purpose in life is to mate with a virgin queen. If there were no drones, the colony would die out in exactly the same way that most other living creatures would die out if there were no males.

What would happen to a honey bee colony if there we're no drones?
Drones are the male bees in a colony. Their only purpose in life is to mate with a virgin queen. If there were no drones, the colony would die out in exactly the same way that most other living creatures would die out if there were no males.
Why do ants grow wings in the last stage?
Ants mate in flight. The future queen mates with numerous drones, she lands, bites off her wings, and eats them. The drones die, shortly after mating (killer sex!).
Will a bumble bee just die if the queen is dead?
No, the colony will try to create a new queen, but if they can't they the worker bees lay eggs but they will only be drones, so soon the colony will slowly die out.
What purpose do drone bees serve?
The drones are the male bees. The queen and worker bees are all female. The only purpose of a drone is to mate with a new queen. Once mating has finished the drone will die. Within the hive, the drones have no function and do no work. As autumn turns to winter all of the drones in the hive will be thrown out by the worker bees and will die. New drones will be produced at the start of the next season.

Why can't drones bees gather their own food?
Drones are males hatched from unfertilized eggs. They don't collect nectar, nor do they have a sting. A drones' primary role is to mate with a fertile queen. They die after mating. If food is scarce, the drones are driven from the hive, rather than use up resources.
How long can a bee live up to?
A honey bee queen can live from three to five years. A drone can live for up to four months, but will die after mating, whatever its age. Drones are also not wanted by the colony over winter, so are evicted from the hive by the workers at the end of summer and will die. A worker bee can live up to four months over winter, but will only live for around six weeks in summer.
A male bee has only a mother but a female bee has both a mother and a father How many total ancestors does a male bee have going back 10 generations mother being the first generation?
In order to answer this question we have to make the assumption that none of the drones and queens share a parent otherwise the figures will become impossible to calculate. Bear in mind that each queen will mate with up to 20 drones, although each drone will only mate with one queen because it will die after mating. The figures below are worked on the basis that each queen has two parents (a queen and a drone) and each drone only has one (the queen): * Generation 1: 1 queen * Generation 2: 1 queen, 1 drone * Generation 3: 2 queens, 1 drone (mothers of the queen and drone, father of the queen) * Generation 4: 3 queens, 2 drones * Generation 5: 5 queens, 3 drones * Generation 6: 8 queens, 5 drones * Generation 7: 13 queens, 8 drones * Generation 8: 21 queens, 13 drones * Generation 9: 34 queens, 21 drones * Generation 10: 55 queens, 34 drones This gives a grand total of 143 queens and 88 drones. Those of a mathematical persuasion will notice that this is a perfect example of a Fibonnacci sequence, both for the numbers of queens and the numbers of drones.
