How long a bee can remember you depends on type of memory, as bees have good learning and memory for flowers, locations, and threats, but they do not remember individual humans in same way as mammals, though they can learn to associate humans with danger or food. Studies show honeybees can learn to recognize human faces and remember them for days, with research showing bees can be trained to recognize face patterns and remember for few days, and they can remember locations of flowers and hive for weeks to months, with long term memory lasting days to weeks, and they can remember learned tasks like navigating mazes for several days. Bees have short term memory lasting seconds to minutes and long term memory lasting days. They can remember threats, for example if you disturb hive, guard bees may remember your scent or location and become more defensive toward you for few days due to alarm pheromone association, but they do not remember you personally for months like dog. Bumblebees can remember flower locations for few days. So bee can remember you for few days if you interact frequently, especially if you are associated with threat or food, but they do not have long term personal memory of individuals like humans, their memory is more for survival tasks like foraging and hive defense, with memory lasting days to weeks, not years, and they rely on pheromones and visual cues rather than personal recognition.
