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."

The BBC said it was 60,000, but I was just being glib and referencing an ancient dad joke:

"What do you mean, you want to borrow $20? What could you possibly need $10 for? Why don't you ask your mother for $5. Fine, here's $1, now get."
