Best Answer

Honey bees spend approximately 10 days of their 6 week life span as 'house bees'. ie they act as cleaners and maintenance men looking after the hive (or nest in the wild). they tidy up after other bees, remove any debris and generally keep things clean and tidy. They also do any repairs to the combs that become necessary.
