Can bees survive without a queen?

If a queen dies, then the worker bees will feed royal jelly to some of the larvae and they will turn into queen bees. The first one out will kill all the others, so there will only be one Queen Bee in the hive. This is still a dead end until the queen finds a drone, mates and gets down into the business of egg laying.

Why are people so interested in Beekeeping?

Because bees are very interesting and they produce such large amounts of honey. A colony of bees consists of three castes of bee: A large number of female workers and a number of male drones ranging from thousands in a strong hive in the spring, although it could be a lot less in the very cold season. The queen is the only sexually mature female in the hive and all of the female worker bees and male drones are her offspring/babies. The Queen can actually live for anything up to 3 years and in that time can produce millions of eggs; a Queen could produce 2,000 eggs in just one day. The Queen is also fed larger amounts of Royal Jelly then other normal worker bees, she needs the energy.

What happens when the queen bee doesn't produce more babies?

a queen bee never stops producing, To ensure the colony's survival, the worker bees will work to have a replacement ready for the queen if she is old or is not producing an adequate amount of eggs. A virgin queen bee will fight other virgin queen bee till she becomes the surviving one. Then she will mate and become the new queen bee.
