Honeybees don't actually hibernate, but they won't leave the hive if the temperature is too low.
In order to fly a bee has to have a body temperature of at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). Although a bee generates body heat as it flies, at air temperatures below about 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 degrees Celsius) the bee will lose heat faster than it can generate it and will become unable to fly. Below about 50 degrees F (10 C) the bee will become comatose and eventually die.
In cold weather, bees cluster within the hive and vibrate their wing muscles to generate heat. This requires a lot of energy and is the reason bees collect nectar for honey: for food during the cold weather.

Honeybees sleep in their hives, typically resting on the frames or in clusters with other bees. They are most active during the day, with a period of rest at night.

Hibernation is the winter counterpart to estivation. Hibernation is a state of inactivity and lowered metabolic rate that some animals enter during the colder months to conserve energy, while estivation is a similar state entered in response to hot or dry conditions.
Three differences between Orchard Mason Bees and Honeybees are: 1. Honeybees are more aggessive. 2. Orchard Mason Bees live in mud holes while Honeybees live in hives. 3. Orchard Mason Bees sting less frequently than Honeybees.
The honeybees do eat nectar and pollen during the spring and summer.
Animals stay alive in hibernation as this is a natural process.

No
They store food as fat. This occurs just before hibernation.
Those fatty foods are their sustenance during hibernation.
They do not hibernate.
Yes.
Some of them do. Not most of them. Most of them fly away with there babies to a warmer location.
No. They eat all they can before hibernation. Unless they can sleep-eat.
Cheetahs do not hibernate.
