The Queen bee will live for 4 - 5 years
6 months
Just one summer season.
Three years is the norm, as most beekeepers kill off a queen after that becasue her laying capacity is greatly reduced.
No it just stuns them.
There is no "King Bee" The leader of a Bee Colony would be the Queen. And the average life expectancy would depend on the specific species of bee.
just a queen bee
about 6 years and four months In Summer workers & drones live for about 6 weeks. In Winter workers live for about 6 months. Queen bees live sevarl years - maybe up to 5 years in exceptional cases.
a matter of size
Bees don't reproduce asexually. The queen is the only reproductive female in the colony. She is mated by one or more males throughout her life span, and thus lays fertilized eggs which turn into drones.
A honey bee queen is an egg-laying machine.
Clearly this will depend upon how long the queen bee lives for. In practice beekeepers like to have young healthy queens and so will often replace them before they live their full span. In theory a queen bee could live for 3 to 5 years and during peak times of the year she could be laying 2,000 eggs a day. But in Winter the number of eggs laid will be zero or close to zero when conditions are very cold. That being the case it is quite possible that a queen bee could lay anything from one to two million eggs in her lifetime.
When the queen bee dies, her daughter becomes the new queen.
