I am getting to a point in my colony that some of my kings are getting older. I haven't been breeding long enough to lose any yet,(oldest king is about 16yrs) and so I am curious to find out how long other breeders(who have been doing it much longer than me)kings live. And since my old guy has more energy than me, and breeds like a stud, I feel like he has lots of years in him. What signs of aging do they show, and what are your experiences with how long they can live for? What subspecies? I also would like to let my buyers know in a more accurate sense(Is the 15-20 years most info sources state accurate, or completely wrong?)Any experiences and info would be greatly appreciated.
