摘　　要：蜜蜂是完全社会化的昆虫,有2种不同的雌性级型,它们在寿命方面表现了显著的级型差异。蜂王的平均寿命是1～2 a,而工蜂在繁殖季节平均寿命是30～40 d,越冬季节平均寿命是90～200 d。显然工蜂寿命有可塑性,受各种因素控制。综述了近年来对工蜂寿命的研究,阐述了影响工蜂寿命的几种因素。Honey bees are eusocial insects, has two different type of female level, which exhibit striking caste-specific differences in lifespan. Queens live, on average, for 1-2 years whereas workers live, on average, 30-40 days in the breeding season and 90-200 days in the winter. This seasonal variation in worker lifespans indicates that honeybee lifespans are plastic. This plasticity is probably controlled by variety of factors, Here, I summarize how variation of factors contributes to the aging of workerbees.
