You're referring to the lifespan of a Ripuan bee (リプ貝) being short!
Yes, that's correct. The lifespan of a honey bee is typically around 4-6 weeks during the summer months when they are actively foraging and reproducing. During this time, they work tirelessly to gather nectar, pollen, and water to feed their colony.
In contrast, queen bees can live up to 5 years or more, depending on factors like nutrition, disease, and genetics. Worker bees that live through the winter typically survive until the following spring, when new queens are produced and the colony starts a new cycle.
So while individual worker bees have relatively short lifespans, the social structure of the hive allows for the colony to thrive over longer periods!
