Hello Joeceno,
According to the Honey Association, the average honey bee will
actually make only one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

From Burleson?s Facts and Figures about Money:
?In its lifetime, the worker bee produces about 1/2 teaspoon of honey.?

The National Honey Board states that the average worker bee makes only
one-twelfth of a teaspoon in its lifetime. ?Bees visit 50 to 100
flowers during one collection trip, tapping two million flowers to
produce one pound of honey. U.S. per capita consumption of honey is
just over one pound.?

?The beehive runs like an well-organized manufacturing plant. The bees
have to take the nectar from about two million flowers just to make
one pound of honey. A bee will visit between 50 and 100 flowers in one
trip alone. In order to get from flower to flower, the bee flies
roughly 15 miles per hour. Luckily each bee has four wings. After all
this work, the average bee only produces 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey
in its entire lifetime.?

?The average beehive produces 30 to 40 pounds of honey in a season.
Some give as much as 200 pounds a season; yet a bee can carry only a
third of a drop of honey at a time.?

?They are sold by the pound, about 500 bees to a pound - there are
about 9 pounds of bees in each beehive, and each beehive produces
anywhere from 15 to 25 pounds of honey.?

A commercial beehive in Australia produces between 75 and 100
kilograms and can go up to about 200 kilograms of honey a year.
?There are some 14,000 registered beekeepers in Australia with about
2,000 of these working commercially to produce 87 per cent of
Australia?s honey. Each beekeeper keeps anywhere between 40 to 2000
hives. An average beehive produces between 75 and 100 kilograms and
can go up to about 200 kilograms of honey a year. A strong hive has
about 30,000 bees flying from blossom to blossom all day long. Each
bee can visit thousands of blossoms in a single day.?
