During the winter the queen lays very few eggs, and the number of bees in the colony can fall to as low as 10,000, but during the summer when the colony is building up she can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day and there will be up to 60,000 bees.
Bear in mind that in summer the lifespan of a worker bee is about six weeks, so in the average hive the queen would have to lay over a thousand eggs a day just to replace the workers that die.
