A bit late in the day (OK, two months after his original post), some enlightening stats from Chris Slade: https://chrissladesbeeblog.wordpress.com/2018/12/22/queen-survival/
Chris' records show that his queens are in his care for an average of 2.28 years (two years three months). As he points out, the actual lifetimes will be longer, because some queens will be swarm arrivals and some will push off in a swarm and may live on for another few years.
