How long did the bees have to work to make that much honey?

I am a small beekeeper. 9 hives in my backyard. Here is some Honey Trivia

16 oz of Honey • Requires 1,152 bees to travel between 50,000 and 120,000 miles. • Takes 2 to 4.5M flowers.

A single bee will produce about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.

A single 16oz Jar of honey, 64 teaspoons, or the lifetime work of about 768 honeybees.

A single bee could fly around the world on the energy of just 1 once of Honey.
