queen ants and bees as well as wasps. I do not think cockroaches do not die after giving birth.

Termite queens do not since they can live for 20 or more years.
They can store sperm for a couple of years but keep a mate in the nest with them.

There are several others as well.

=o= I searched the source where I read it from some time ago,luckily I found it.=0=

Queen ANT is another female insect that mates once with the male(s) and stores the GAMETES for the rest of her life and will continuously lay eggs.

A termite queen mates with a series of male termites and then stores the sperm for the rest of its life -- only releasing small amounts at a time to fertilize eggs before laying them.
