Not all of them. There are always some living honeybees in the colony to take care of the queen and to keep the cycle going. Some die during the winter but some survive and the queen usually lives for about 4 years.

When winter comes, the honeybees gather together in a tight cluster and the queen lays her eggs.


There are different types of honeybees. The queen, the drones (males) and the workers (females). The queen can live from 2-5 years. The drones lives 40-50 days. The females (workers) live from 1-4 months: 21 days in development (egg - larvae - pupae) and the rest as an adult.

Why do bumblebees die openly but honeybees never?

Bumblebees often die openly due to their solitary foraging behavior and shorter lifespans, making them more susceptible to environmental stressors. In contrast, honeybees live in colonies and have a social structure that allows them to care for sick or dying members, often removing them from the hive to maintain hygiene. Additionally, honeybees typically die within the safety of their hive, where they can be protected from predators and extreme conditions. This difference in behavior and social structure accounts for the visible deaths of bumblebees compared to honeybees.


Are honeybees the same as bees?

No. Some bumble bees are solitary but even the largest social bumble bee colonies are quite small with up to a couple of hundred members -- compared to a honey bee colony at 20,000 to 60,000 members. Also, bumble bees only store enough honey for their immediate needs because over the winter the new queens hibernate and the rest of the colony dies. With honey bees they have to build up a large stock of honey for food when they can't forage in the winter because they do not hibernate and a large part of the colony will survive through the winter.
