Honey bees don't hibernate. They remain active through the winter, but will not leave the hive if the temperature is too low. That is why they make honey: it is their food for the winter.

Bumble bee queens will find a sheltered place to wait out the winter. The drones and workers will die as the temperature falls. In the spring, when it gets warm enough, the queen comes out and looks for a new nest site and starts producing new drones and workers.

Where do bees go in winter in the uk?

Honey bees will stay in the hives when it is too cold to fly out, and will cluster together on the combs to conserve body heat -- rather like penguins in the antarctic. For bumble bees and wasps: at the end of summer the colonies would have produced new queens and drones. The new queens will mate then fly off to find somewhere sheltered to spend the winter in hibernation. The rest of the colony die. Next spring the queens come out of hibernation and start new nests.
