Queens: 7 years. Drones: 4-5 weeks. Workers: 8 weeks
Honeybees have an interesting longivity measure- they live until they fly about 800 kilometers. This may take a few weeks for a foraging bee in summer, or a year or so for a winter worker bee. The drones (males) have a very short life span as they die when they finish mating with the queen bee. The queen will live for 2-3 years or until she runs out of stored sperm in the spermatheca. At this point the worker bees who take care of the young would create several new queen bees and execute the old one.
