[1] It has been estimated that a honey bee must visit 2 million flowers to make 0.5 kilogram, or 1.1 pound, of honey. [2] There are 1,000 grams in 1 kg. So a honey bee must visit 4,000 flowers to make 1 g.
It is impossible to say exactly how many flowers a bee must visit to collect enough nectar to make one teaspoon of honey (pollen is collected for food). This depends on a lot of factors, and it must be remembered that nectar is also collected to feed to colony: not all of it is made into honey.
To put it into perspective, it is estimated that one teaspoon of honey is the entire life's work of twelve bees, and in order to collect this they would have flown a combined total of around 6,000 miles (nearly 10,000 kilometres).
Strictly speaking, none because they don't make honey from pollen, they make it from nectar.
In order to collect enough nectar to make a pound of honey, the bees will have visited around two million flowers.
you would need the bees to collect nectar from 2000 flowers to make a pint of honey.

2 million flowers
Bees visit an average of around two million flowers to collect the nectar for a pound (454 grams) of honey. Based on this if a bee visits 5,000 flowers it will collect enough nectar to make 1.135 grams (1/25th of an ounce) of honey.
Between them the bees will make between 25 and 30 thousand foraging trips to collect enough nectar to make a pound of honey, and in the process they will visit something in the order of two million flowers.
bees need to visit 2 million flowers to make that pound of honey
Sixty-two thousand five hundred (62,500) is the number of flowers from which a bee must collect nectar in order to make one tablespoon of honey. Researchers offer 2 million as the floral number whose nectar yields one pound (32 tablespoons) of honey. It tends to take 768 worker bees flying over 55,000 miles to make one pound of honey and therefore 24 to yield one tablespoon.
Two million is the number of flowers whose nectars yield one pound (0.45 kilograms) of honey. Bees visit flowers deliberately because of nectar and intentionally or non-intentionally because of pollen grains. Nectar will serve as an immediately energizing beverage for the collector and for a subsequently refreshing drink whose regurgitation shares the nutrients with non-foraging colony members and whose transformation through apian digestive enzymes turns out honey.

16 ounces in a pound of honey
There are many factors which can affect the amount of honey that can be collected from the hive, including the variety of bee, the weather patterns through the spring and summer, the amount and varieties of flowers within foraging range from the hive, and the strength of the colony.That said, the amount of honey can be as little as none, or as much as 100 pounds of honey from one hive -- and in exceptional cases much more, the record is over 500 pounds.
1 cup of honey is approximately 3/4 of a pound. 1 pound of honey is approximately 1 and 1/3 cups.
A single bee can collect about 1/12 teaspoon of honey in its lifetime, so it would take the life's work of about 560 workers to make one pound of honey. For this they would have to collect nectar from about two million flowers, and fly a total of about 55,000 miles (88,000 kilometres).
