Two years is the length of time that the queen honeybee lives. A queen honeybee's life expectancy may be lengthened or shortened by conditions within the hive or nest, such as the presence of disease, germs, pathogens, pests or viruses. That life cycle and natural history likewise will be impacted by factors outside the hive or nest, such as environmental stress and extreme weather.
