Hummingbird's typically flap their wings 50 times per second and up to 200 times per second. Per minute: 3000 flaps up to 12,000. Hourly: 180,000 typically and up to 720,000. Now that is a lot of flapping eh...:)

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.
