I have been following the research on Resveratrol and longevity with interest.  If a beekeeper could extend a 6-week life span to 9-weeks in the honey producing (or pollination) season with the use of Resveratrol, this could make a significant difference.  It would perhaps be financially viable.

I don't think this would work with bees.  Longevity, for the most part, is limited by the wear and tear of wing membranes.  Don't think Resveratrol would affect this wear and tear.
