A UK local paper, Metro shared a rather metaphorical images of a swarm of bees alleged attacking an innocent car.

They again tweeted that the bees who were in pursuit of their queen were exactly 20,000 in number. But that was not the news.
The news was rather on how they counted the number to that figure, it was a valid and honest question which they could not answer until now.
We really can't put them in a single file and count, but we do know there's some 20000-80000 bees in each beehive working to make honey 🐝🍯

How we arrived at 20000
B – Horny Drone Bee
Q – Queen
10000b = ∑(1Q + 1 / 2)= 20000
2∑ B+ ∑ (1 / 2)B=1Q per B
Answer: 20000 Horny bees https://t.co/HOYGL8DWb8
