North Carolina child’s ‘monster in the closet’ was in fact 50,000 bees in the wall

The bees were relocated to a bee sanctuary.

For those wondering.

Bees are friends, and if you have honeybees in your home, try to get them moved rather than exterminated. I think some beekeepers will do this pro bono.

I think 50.000 bees in the wall qualifies as a monster

What? I first read that it was 60,000 bees in the wall, and now you say it's 50,000? Next thing you know, some other rag'll report it's 40,000 before further investigation reveals it wasn't more than 20,000 — and that's before we hear from 10,000 poor, trapped bees themselves and find out it was really just a couple hundred drunk bumblebees trying to find their way home from the pollen bar.
Pfft.

The first publication said over 50,000. Not sure where the other numbers came from.

Not only were they able to get approximately 50,000 bees out, but the beekeeper "found the queen and were able to move [the surviving bees] to a bee sanctuary."
