25 hours is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Taking in consideration that there are ten bees leaving the hive but there are other six reentering, it means that there are four bees leaving the hive as a net rate. So, if we take this in consideration, one hundred bees would leave the hive empty in 25 hours.
