Bees do sleep, and their sleep cycle depends on their age. Younger workers sleep less. Older foragers sleep more and mainly at night.

Much the same as they do during the daytime, apart from going out and collecting pollen etc.

I have seen some of mine out after dark in the warmer weather but I believe they were out looking for metal hive parts and gates to steal.
