In an indvidual colony of honey bees (i.e. one hive) the population will fluctuate quite a lot during the year. At its lowest level in Winter it could be 10,000 bees whereas at its height in Summer it could easily exceed 50,000 bees.
In the UK there are an estimated 200,000 to 250,000 hives so you say that there may be as many as 125,000,000,000 honey bees around in the middle of Summer. There are of course also other types of bees - solitary bees and bumblebees, for example - that would raise the number higher.
As for world population, I cannot help you. One would need to consider the different seasons at any one time and the many tpes of stingless and other bees that exist.
