Depending on the species, hummingbirds can flap their wings anywhere from 40-80 times in one second, with the fastest being 90. During courtship, wing speed will increase further--even up to 200 times per second.
A Ruby-throated Hummingbird, hovering in open space, has a wingbeat rate of about 50-52 times per second. The smaller the hummingbird, the faster the speed, ranging from about 10-80 beats per second.

The Giant Hummingbird beats its wings 10-15 times per second. The fastest recorded rate is about 80 beats per second on an Amethyst Woodstar Hummingbird. North American hummingbirds average around 53 flaps per second.
It depends on how far it goes and the size of the bird.
This is not a question that can have a meaningful answer becase no honey bee flaps its wings continuously for an hour, but when flying they beat their wings at between 200 and 230 times a second.
Well I can tell you that the average Humming Bird Can flap its wings 50-53 flaps a second so if you times that many flaps to the hour you'll get your answer.
Hummingbirds are among the smallest birds on earth. However, they are one of the fastest. The hummingbird flaps its wings 180 thousand times in one hour.
The Giant Hummingbird beats its wings 10-15 times per second. The fastest recorded rate is about 80 beats per second on an Amethyst Woodstar Hummingbird. North American hummingbirds average around 53 flaps per second.
a hummingbird can drink nectar from flowers, fly 27 miles per hour, flap their wings 80 times per second
80 times per second
It depends on how far it goes and the size of the bird.
The Giant Hummingbird's wings beat 8-10 beats per second, the wings of medium sized hummingbirds beat about 20-25 beats per second and the smallest beat 70 beats per second. 8-10 beats per second would be 30,720-36,000 per hour assuming they are in complete flight for an hour, which I doubt
18,000 times

8-10 for a giant hummingbird, 20-25 for a medium sized hummingbird.
That will depend upon the particular species of hummingbird. North American hummingbirds are said to beat their wings around 53 times per second during normal flight. A straight conversion to per minute or per hour would be about 3180 beats per minute or 190800 beats per hour. It is unknown if they can maintain it for that long. Larger hummingbirds generally have fewer beats per second and smaller ones have more.
They beat their wings 12-80 beats per second, depending on the species. For 12 beats per second, that is over 8640 per hour.
This is not a question that can have a meaningful answer becase no honey bee flaps its wings continuously for an hour, but when flying they beat their wings at between 200 and 230 times a second.
