A honey bee queen can live from three to five years.

A drone can live for up to four months, but will die after mating, whatever its age. Drones are also not wanted by the colony over winter, so are evicted from the hive by the workers at the end of summer and will die.

A worker bee can live up to four months over winter, but will only live for around six weeks in summer.
