Workers live a very short, active, productive life. Her life expectancy is six weeks. Most often she will meet fate much earlier when she bee-comes a foraging field worker. Few honeybees find their way to longevity. All honeybees will readily give their lives in defense of their hives.

Providing that the bee hadn't stung and/or killed when defending it's hive, I'd say about a season or so.
