How long can bees live?

The average life span of bees is only about 30 days.

Collecting honey is the most important job for bees to shorten their life span. In the honey flowing period, the average life span of worker bees is only about 26 days. The key reason is that the work intensity is too high, all kinds of glands develop actively, and bees are overworked and die. For the age-appropriate overwintering bees cultivated before overwintering, firstly, the gland development time is insufficient, and there is little chance to reach the honey gathering time, so they start overwintering.

The life span of queen bee is generally 3 to 5 years, and the life span of worker bee depends on the working intensity. Generally, the honey-flowing period is only about 26 days, so the work intensity is not strong enough, and it can last only one month, and it can last for more than half a year in winter. According to the highest record of current research, the longest life span of worker bees is 304 days, and the average life span of high-quality overwintering bees can reach 277 days, which is the secret of bee overwintering.

The main characteristics of bees

It is smaller than the black bee, with a slender abdomen and a long kiss, so it can be used to pollinate red clover. Chitin in the webbed web is brightly colored, and there are yellow bands at the front ends of the second to fourth segments of the ventral dorsal plate. Mild temperament, can keep quiet during spleen examination. Weak disease resistance, weak ability to resist bee mites.

Strong insect rearing, weak bee distribution, strong nest cleaning ability and resistance to nest insects. Overwintering in a strong group will consume a lot of food. Strong ability to collect glue, good at strengthening the spleen, strong ability to secrete royal jelly, good at collecting and storing a lot of pollen. The bee colony is strong and alert, so Italian bees can show particularly superior collecting power under the condition of good honey flow.
