Honey bees do not hibernate. However, they will be confined to the hive in cold weather because they cannot fly if the air temperature is below about 17C (54F). They will cluster together and vibrate their flight muscles to generate heat, keeping the centre of the cluster up to about 98F (37C). This takes energy, and is why the bees store honey: so they can feed when they can't fly out.

Other bees, such as bumblebees, may hibernate through the colder parts of winter, but the length of time will depend very much on the temperature. because of global warming many bees are dyin because they come out of the hive around Christmas time cause the winters are milder

Once the temperature goes below fifty degrees wasps start to have an issue with flying. As it dips to lower points below fifty degrees the colony begins to dye off leaving the queen to find a place to hibernate for the winter.

Yes, Bumblebees do hibernate. They will individually find their own hibernation spot to get through the winter months.
