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.

What is the difference between ground bees and regular bees?
By ground bee I am assuming that you meant the bees that burrow rather than building comb in a tree or other tall place.Specifically speaking all bees are members of the family Apidae.The European Honey Bee is actually unusual considering that it is eusocial when most of the varieties of bee are solitary.The most specific difference between digger bees and "normal" honey bees is the way in which they build their nest.Digger bees can build only smaller nests with one piece of comb, and generally there is not many offspring nor much honey stored.Honey bees build much larger nests with several hanging pieces of comb. There is an entire colony with the queen bee, offspring is constantly taken care of though numbers do depend on how available food is, and there is a plethora of stored honey, but in the wild it also depends on how available food is, and in what season.
