A hive is an artificial home supplied by a beekeeper for his bees to live in and can last for 20/30 years. If you mean how long does a colony of bees live for, then the answer to that is more complicated. Individual worker honey bees will live for about 6 weeks in the summer and about 6 months in the winter. Drones will only live for a few months and a queen for about 4 years. However, the colony as a whole is continually reproducing and theoretically could live forever.
