The Book of Hosea tells us when he prophesied in chapter 1, verse 1:

Hosea 1:1

New International Version (NIV)

1 The word of the Lord that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the reigns of Uzziah,Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the reign of Jeroboam son of Jehoash[a] king of Israel:

Footnotes:
  1. Hosea 1:1 Hebrew Joash, a variant of Jehoash

His ministry began while Uzziah was King of Judah (circa 792-740 B.C.) and Jeroboan II, King of Israel (circa 792-753 B.C.). It ended in the reign of Hezekiah (circa 729-699 B.C.). Therefore it can be safely stated that he was born in the 8th Century B.C. as no specific date is given in Scripture.
