At the height of her egg-laying, in late spring, she can lay 1,500 to 2,000 eggs a day. That's actually more than her own body weight.
In winter, her egg-laying drops almost to zero.
Up to 2000
about 2,000 eggs a day i think.
At the height of the breeding season she can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day.A honey bee queen can lay up to 1000 eggs per day.
A queen honey bee can lay between 1000 and 2000 eggs per day.
At the height of the season, a honey bee queen can lay up to 2000 eggs per day.
At the height of summer, the queen can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day. Consider that there is only one queen in a hive and only the queen lays eggs. In the spring a hive may start with 15,000 to 20,000 bees, and by the end of summer there could be 60,000 bees. Consider also that in summer a worker bee's life span is around six weeks, so over the season the queen not only lays enough eggs to grow the population, but also she effectively has to replace the entire population every six weeks.
Honey bee queens can lay up to 1000 eggs per day at the height of the season.
A honey bee queen can lay between 1000 and 2000 eggs PER DAY in the height of the season. Therefore 14,000 eggs per week is quite possible.
A honey bee queen can lay around 1000 eggs per day at the height of the season but in the winter she stops laying.
At the height of the season, a queen can lay 1000 eggs per day.
At the height of the summer, the queen can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day. Averaged out that would equate to roughly one egg every 43 seconds.
The rate at which the queen lays varies through the year. In winter the queen lays very few eggs, and may even stop laying altogether for a period. In spring her laying rate will rise, and in late spring she could be laying 2,000 eggs a day as the colony builds up to full strength. The rate will then slow down again through summer, and from the second half of summer colony numbers will reduce in preparation for winter.
It depends which month. A queen does not lay at all during the winter. She will build up during the spring, and in the summer she can be laying up to 2,000 eggs a day. She will slow down again as winter approaches.
