Three to four years per queen is the length of time that bees stay. A series of much shorter-lived drones (males) and workers (females) simultaneously occupy the colony thanks to the thousands of eggs -- from which larvae hatch in 3 - 4 days to emerge from cells as drones in 24 days, virgin queens in 15 days, and workers in 21 days -- that the queen produces during the nest's life cycle and natural history. All occupants voyage to and from the colony, with travel times being mission-defined and varying in stays from a few minutes to a few hours outside.

Bee hives can last a long time if they are not beaten and hurt by predators. The hive will not be used more than once by bee colonies. After it is used it will dry and be hollow and light (weight).
