No phone numbers on website and number on back of card would not connect me to a person. I am out $250 for using their interest free card. I used Synchrony Bank with my T.J.Maxx card years ago and it was a terrible experience.
Factors affecting a queen bee's life span are food availability, worker bee population and mating opportunities. A queen honey bee's life lasts between a year and five years. A queen bumble bee lives only one year. Both honey bee and bumble bee queens' life spans depend on their ability to produce offspring -- they die when they are no longer able to lay fertile eggs. Honeybees rely on a single queen for reproduction. They inhabit a hive from year to year, hibernating there during winter.
No! Queens might live three or four years - or even longer! - but eventually, they might need to be replaced. Beekeepers make their own new queens for themselves. Most beekeepers actually prefer to raise their own queens - it costs no money and the beekeeper can pick the type of stock he or she most prefers.
