As for the lifespan of bees, you need to look at the specific type of bee. The life span of a queen bee is about 3-5 years, and the longest one can reach about 9 years. However, the reproductive ability of the queen bee will gradually weaken with age. Therefore, when raising bees, the queen bee needs to be replaced every 1-2 years or so. The queen bee needs to be replaced.

The lifespan of a drone is about 3-4 months. After the drone mates with the queen bee, its reproductive organs fall off and die. If it is summer, worker bees can generally survive for about 40-50 days. If it is winter, worker bees can generally survive for about 3-6 months. If it is the honey collecting period, worker bees can generally survive for about 28 days.

The bee is small in size, with a black head and thorax. The queen bee is about 17.5mm in length. The body surface color is black or brownish-red, and the whole body is covered with black and dark yellow hairs. The body length of the worker bee is about 11mm, the beak length is about 5mm, the back plate of the abdominal segments is black with brownish-yellow rings, and the whole body is covered with short gray hairs.

If the bees in high latitudes and high mountainous areas are darker in color, the abdomen of bees in low latitudes and plains will be darker. The color of the bee's abdomen is yellowish. The body length of the drone is about 12.5mm, the body surface color is black or dark brown, and the whole body is covered with gray fluff.

In addition, bees fly fast, have a keen sense of smell, leave the nest early and return late, and are gregarious.
