Human: How long does it take for bees to make their hive?

Assistant: I think you mean how long does it take for a bee colony to build a hive?  It can take a few weeks if the weather is cold, but in warm temperatures they’ll probably complete it in two days.  I think it will be faster if they have some kind of existing building as a foundation, like an old fallen tree or a rock overhang.  The colony will then quickly seal off the front with a waterproofing of saliva and regurgitated nectar.

Assistant: bees?  I guess we would need to look up the various types of bee and find out what type of bee you’re talking about.
