There are different sized hives, and the size of a colony varies throughout the year with the lowest population in late winter, and the highest in early summer, but average values are:

  • Summer: 1 queen, around 60,000 workers and 300 drones.
  • Winter: 1 queen, around 10,000 workers and no drones.

It does depend on the size of the hive, but in early summer in an average hive the colony could be as large as 60,000 workers, a few hundred drones, and one queen. With a large hive it is possible for there to be more, but much more and the colony would probably be looking to split, with half of them swarming to find a new home

An average bee hive is home to about 60 000 bees. During peak honey flows, the population increases significantly.
