Lmao the first paragraph of the wiki basically says although the British heavily outnumbered the Germans their attack was broken up by attacking bees who attacked both sides, it allowed the Germans to capture a bunch of modern equipment and supplies from the British which they then used to successfully defend against the British for the rest of WW1. Making it one of the German forces greatest victories in Africa.
