How long would it take 50000 honey bees to make 500 pounds of honey?

Presuming that you mean 500lbs of honey taken off a hive then it would probably represent 4 or 5 years honey production. But it could be more or less depending on the quality of summer weather and available forage for the bees.
This is a difficult question for several other reasons:
- bees are eating honey themselves so some of what they had already made would be consumed in order for them to survive to make more the next year;
- 50,000 bees represents a typical summer colony in a hive but the colony dwindles during the winter months when no honey production is possible;
- some sub-species of honey bees are more prolific than others.
I hope that helps a bit. It is a complex topic so if you are interested please do take the time to read an introductory book for beekeeping - you will find it fascinating.
