gollark: Yes, this is I believe around the lifespan of worker bees in winter.
gollark: > However, worker bees that are born before winter will live 4 to 6 months. Their main job over winter is to keep the queen warm.

gollark: <@102038103463567360> The sources I can find on honey bee lifespans say it's only 6ish weeks.
gollark: @ubq323 how is progress with the apioformic rewrite?
