I guess that means he killed 25 bees. Should have used a hornet instead.

75 bees actually, 3 rounds of stinging.

A sting from a honey bee is familiar to many because of its world-wide distribution. The sting can be reliably provoked, and standardized, making it an ideal experimental stimulus. Furthermore, its rating as the center point of the Schmidt pain scale suggests it may be a useful standard. The present study therefore used honey bee stings to determine whether sting location impacts painfulness, and how painfulness varies by location.

Reads as: honey bees are cheap to acquire and I ain't letting no hornet sting my private parts.
