I have seen commercial queens live a year or more. Generally not much longer than that. 


While it’s a good conversation,  this is a biased comment.   You need to buy elsewhere.  Never had problem at all with early failures, And well aware of many of us on a large scale using commercial queens  for several seasons.  Including 2 of the bigger breeders I know run 2 year old stock as a rule. Not an exception.
