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.
