I suspect any estimate is suspect, but is there one?

Subject: honey bee statistics
 
Dr. Sanford,
 
Greetings from California!
 
I'm trying to track down some statistics on the industrious honey bee.
Can you tell me how many bee days are required to produce a pound of
honey?  That is, how many honey bees working how many days can produce a
pound of honey?  (Or, one bee, working how many days, could produce a
pound of honey?)
 
Tell the UF folks "hi" for me.
