Honey bees do not hibernate. In cold weather they will cluster together in the hive and vibrate their wing muscles in order to generate heat. The temperature in the centre of the cluster will be in the order of 35 to 40 degrees Celsius, and bees on the outside of the cluster will move in as they cool off.
Provided there are enough bees to maintain the required temperature and there is not too much heat loss through the hive wall, the outside of the hive can be completely frozen and the bees will be unaffected.

Are nurse bees the friendliest bees?
The friendliest bees in a hive are the drones (males), because they don't have a stinger. Otherwise, any bee will sting something close to her if she feels it is threatening her colony. However, nurse bees rarely leave the hive, and the ones that are most likely to sting you when you get too close to their home are the older bees whose job it is to defend the hive.
What three types of bee's live in a hive?

Will you call the bee keeper back if you still see bees flying around one week after the bee hive removal?
Certainly talk to him if you are worried. But it is inevitable there will be a few bees left behind after the hive is taken. They were probably away foraging at the time. Bees can't survive for long without a hive, so will die after a few days. The exact time will depend on the weather and the availability of nectar. But in any case the lifespan of a bee means that even with a hive they wouldn't live for more than three or four weeks of foraging. Another point of comfort: The queen will have gone with the hive. Worker bees on their own can't breed. Although female, they've never been mated, and can't be.
Where are all the bees?
In a temperate climate bees will not fly from the hive if the temperature is too low. The air temperature must be above about 14oC (57oF) for them to fly any distance. For this reason in spring or late autumn you can get the impression that all the bees have disppeared. They haven't, they are just staying in the hive.
Do worker bees sting if their honey is bingeing stolen?
Worker bees will respond to any intrusion that they perceive as a threat to their hive or colony. That obviously includes any person, animal or insect attempting to remove their honey - which the bees need to live on. For example, you will often see a wasp being attacked at the entrance to a hive as the wasp tries to get in to steal honey. Beekeepers use a variety of methods to enable them to remove the honey from a hive without being attacked. One of the key ways is by inserting a board, just under the top box of a hive, with a sort of one-way entrance in it. Once the bees leave that box they are unable to get back in. Thus the beekeeper is able to remove the box of honey with most, if not all, of the bees gone from it.
