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.

∙ 15y ago[1] It has been estimated that honey bees can visit 18,000 flowers per day. And it has been estimated that honey bees must visit 2 million flowers to make 1 pound of honey. [2] Ten honey bees therefore can make daily visits to 180,000 flowers, and weekly to 1,260,000. [3] So that's 1/2 pound of honey per week.

Why are bees eating their own honey?
Bees eat their own honey because that's what they live off of throughout the year, especially during colder months when there are little or no blooming plants for the bees to collect the nectar for the hive. To better understand this, we need to know exactly what a hive is, and I think once you understand what a hive is, the rest will make sense. From the dictionary a hive is a place "to store or lay away for future use or enjoyment." That being said, that is what bees do. They store wax and honey for lean months. As a beekeeper, we take the comb from the hive from time to time to extract the honey for our own use. When we do this, the bees naturally continue to make wax, honey, and propolis. They don't realize that the comb is full of honey is gone, they just know that there is an empty space that they need to create more wax and honey in. When fall comes, the beekeeper, if he is managing his hive properly, will leave in the hive as many combs full of honey to sustain them through the bees winter months. That's why bees eat their own honey.
