Not all of them. There are always some living honeybees in the colony to take care of the queen and to keep the cycle going. Some die during the winter but some survive and the queen usually lives for about 4 years.

When winter comes, the honeybees gather together in a tight cluster and the queen lays her eggs.


There are different types of honeybees. The queen, the drones (males) and the workers (females). The queen can live from 2-5 years. The drones lives 40-50 days. The females (workers) live from 1-4 months: 21 days in development (egg - larvae - pupae) and the rest as an adult.
