It is not possible to give a definitive answer because it would vary on a number of factors.
During the winter a queen will not lay eggs at all. In spring, as the warmer weather comes she will start laying, slowly at first but building up to about 2,000 eggs a day in the middle of summer. As the year progresses, she will slow down her laying, finally stopping as the cold weather comes.
