The queen honey bee can lay over 1000 eggs per day. A colony of bees can contain up to 80000 workers and they only live for about six weeks in the summer as they literally work themselves to death, therefore it is necessary to continually replace the dying bees otherwise the colony numbers will dwindle and it will die out eventually.
