How long does a drone bee mate with a queen bee?
A virgin queen will leave the hive on a mating flight about a week after she emerges from the brood cell. She will emit a mating pheromone which will attract drones from quite an area around. The drones will persue the queen and eventually mating will take place. Copulation with a single drone only takes a matter of a few seconds. The queen will usually mate with between ten and 20 drones, until her spermatheca (the sac in which she stores the sperm) is full. The queen will then return to the hive and will not leave it again except, perhaps, with a swarm. The stock of sperm in her spermatheca will last her for her entire productive life -- two to five years.
