- bees mate twenty feet off the ground doing thirty miles per hr. Fact
- (Not sure where that person got that answer.) but another answer is the Queen and the Drones mate and no one else, the queen needs to mate with 18 different drones and the sperm will last the rest of he life (2 years) and they mate in the hive, not 20 feet of the ground at 30 mph.
Honey bees most certainly DO NOT mate in the hive. A virgin Queen leaves the hive on a mating flight when she is about five days old and will mate (while flying) with approximately thirty drones, all of whom will die after mating. That one mating will last for the rest of her life which can be up to five years. However, beekeepers tend to cull and replace their queens after two years to maximise efficiency. If the bees are living in the wild, they will supersede the queen themselves if they are unhappy with her egg-laying performance.
In fact, the latest research shows that up to fifty drones may be involved in the mating of each virgin queen..

Are bees sexual creatures?
In that there are male and female bees, yes. The queen and all worker bees are female, and the drones are male, but the drones only mate with a queen, and the queen only mates once in her life, albeit with up to twenty drones. Drones mate only once -- they die afterwards.
How many times in life will bees mate?
When she is about five to seven days old a queen will leave the hive on a mating flight. She will mate with up to twenty drones then return to the hive. This is the only time she will mate. Worker bees are all female, but never mate. Drones (males) mate once only, then they die.
What are male bees are called?
The male bee is referred to as a Drone. These male bees are kept on standby during the summer for mating with a virgin queen. Because the drone has a barbed sex organ, mating is followed by death of the drone. There are only 300-3000 drones in a hive. The drone does not have a stinger. Because they are of no use in the winter, drones are expelled from the hive in the autumn.
What are a lion's mating habits?

Why do bees kill other bees?
Bees can kill each other for various reasons, such as competition for resources, territory, or mating opportunities.
