A honey bee is approximately 5mm.
At the height of the season, a honey bee queen can lay up to 2000 eggs per day.
The origin of the expression "the Bee's Knees" appears to have been in America in the 1920s. It means something along the lines of "the height of excellence."
Sketching it is impossible here but think of the ground as the plane and the endless flight of a bee (the bee-line) flying at a constant height as the line which does not intersect it.
At the height of the season, a queen can lay 1000 eggs per day.
A honey bee queen can lay between 1000 and 2000 eggs PER DAY in the height of the season. Therefore 14,000 eggs per week is quite possible.
During the winter, none. During the height of summer, up to 2,000 a day.
Clearly this will depend upon how long the queen bee lives for. In practice beekeepers like to have young healthy queens and so will often replace them before they live their full span. In theory a queen bee could live for 3 to 5 years and during peak times of the year she could be laying 2,000 eggs a day. But in Winter the number of eggs laid will be zero or close to zero when conditions are very cold. That being the case it is quite possible that a queen bee could lay anything from one to two million eggs in her lifetime.
Honey bee queens can lay up to 1000 eggs per day at the height of the season.

The phrase 'the bee's knees', meaning 'the height of excellence' became popular in the US in the 1920s along with 'the cat's whiskers' and 'the cat's pyjamas'. Other possible origins include a corruption of the phrase 'the business'; and 'the b's and e's (from 'the be-all and end-all').
