Beekeeper lifespan. That would be a tough one to get data on. 

> The late F. W. L. Sladen will always be remembered for his classical studies of the behaviour and systematics of bumble bees in Britain, and also in Canada -- where he became the first Dominion Apiarist. In 1922, at the age of 45, F. W. L. Sladen was accidentally drowned while bathing in Lake Ontario off Little Duck Island, where he had established an isolated queen-mating station for the Canadian Government. 

J. B. Free (1960)
