they can die if something in the colony goes wrong. :)

The queen honey bee can lay over 1000 eggs per day. A colony of bees can contain up to 80000 workers and they only live for about six weeks in the summer as they literally work themselves to death, therefore it is necessary to continually replace the dying bees otherwise the colony numbers will dwindle and it will die out eventually.
A Swarm.----A collection of bees is also called a colony.
Within a hive we call a group of bees a colony. A swarm is a group of bees looking for a new home.
No. Bees are wild creatures even if they are kept in a hive by a beekeeper. They are also social insects and live in a colony with lots of other bees.
Billions of bees died due to Colony Collapse Disorder.
a colony of bees is just a group of bees or a nest.
A swarm of bees or colony of bees
A Colony Of Bees A Hive Of Bees A Swarm Of Bees ( If They Are Flying Together )
A collection of bees is usually called a colony. A hive of bees generally refers to the bees in their home. When a bee colony has split and half of the original colony are looking for a new home that collection is called a swarm.
First, hornets are not bees, they are a variety of wasp.If a hornet colony loses its queen there will be no-one laying eggs, so the colony will eventually die out as the older workers are not being replaced.
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.
If the queen dies, under certain circumstances the bees can raise a new queen. If for any reason they are unable to do that, the colony will die out.
The function of a queen bee is to lay eggs. She does no other work, and no other bees lay eggs. Without her there would be no young bees to replace the workers as they die, and the colony would soon die out.

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.
