What if 60,000 of them collectively formed the shape of another creature for the express purpose of terrifying a child? 🤔

That's basically a character on Rick and Morty (except its like a million ants)

60,000 of anything is basically a monster. I wouldn't even want to be confronted by 60,000 koalas.

60,000 Guinea pigs

you leave my end users out of this. It's not their fault the higher ups chose a crappy software vendor

If they're pissed off enough to swarm in the tens of thousands, they are temporarily..

FYI. The quantity of bees in a hive has more to do with their ability to find good food sources nearby, and the suitability of the place they've made their home, and nothing to do with their temperament. That size hive would not be considered particularly remarkable in an apiary. A "swarm" of bees is actually just a bunch of bees that split off from a successful hive and are looking for a new home and are typically very docile. Since this colony had a home (these people's house), it was technical not a "swarm."
