Honey bees do not hibernate. However, they will be confined to the hive in cold weather because they cannot fly if the air temperature is below about 17C (54F). They will cluster together and vibrate their flight muscles to generate heat, keeping the centre of the cluster up to about 98F (37C). Other bees, such as bumblebees, may hibernate through the colder parts of winter, but the length of time will depend very much on the temperature. because of global warming many bees are dying because they come out of the hive around Christmas time cause the winters are milder . in other words, NO

Honey bees do not hibernate, but their metabolisms slow down. They eat less food and only leave the hive occasionally on sunny days for defecation flights.

How long does the queen bee live after she lays eggs?

A queen honey bee can live anything up to five years and she will lay eggs right up to her death. If the queen's egg laying declines too much for the colony, they will replace her. Queens of other species of bee (bumble bee, solitary bees and so on) are hatched and mated in the autumn/fall, hibernate over the winter, then will live until the end of the following summer.
