Best Answer

The lifetime of the colony is the length of time that pollen stored in the honeycomb will keep bees alive. Bees make the honeycomb so that the cells will survive inclement weather and natural enemies. The nectar and pollen reserves service that generation that procures them and those that are being raised and that will be born that year.
