If there are still eggs or larvae less than a couple of days old in the brood comb when the workers realize the queen has gone, they can draw a cell out into a queen cell and feed the larva with royal jelly. This will then develop into an new queen. In practice they will probably do this to several eggs.

If there are no eggs, or if the only eggs are drone eggs there will be no bees to replace the current generation and the colony will die out within a month to six weeks.

Bees do die. They cannot be drowned (they have some sort of air pouch and waterproof armor). They cannot die of cold. They die when you step on them. They die if you burn them. They die after they sting you. They die if they rip apart. They can die of blood loss (bees have blood).

If the queen bee dies suddenly, the workers will be aware of this within minutes because the levels of queen pheromone will drop. They respond by building emergency queen cells around some recently-laid eggs, or very young larvae if there are no eggs, and feed the larvae on royal jelly to create new queens.
The bees don't need special 'queen' eggs: any female egg can be made into a queen by feeding the larva appropriately.

I hope the question is 'if', not 'when'.

It is estimated that three out of every four mouthfuls of food you eat are there directly or indirectly because of the work done by bees. So, if all bees died out there would be a lot of very hungry people, and animals.

Over 80 percent of all plants are pollinated by insects, and 87 percent of those are pollinated by honeybees. If bees were to disappear many plants would fail to be pollinated and would die out. A lot of these plants are direct food crops for man, but even for those that are not, they are a food source for other creatures and it would severely affect the global food chain.

It has been said that if the honeybee were to disappear, man would have four years to live. Whether or not this is true we just have to hope we never come to find out.
