I know, I just wanted to illustrate the infinite series side of the card.

It is, that is certainly the sane and easy way to do it. However as the bee has to go back and forth an infinite number of times it is also be the sum of the following infinite series...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

D = 60 + 60*0.2 + 60*0.2^2 + 60*0.2^3 + 60*0.2^4 + 60*0.2^5 + 60*0.2^6 + ... Which can be solved with the following equation: D = 60/(1-0.2) =75

Yup.

It's 75.

I don't know if it's been confirmed but it's a lovely question

Fairly simple one really. The trains meet at the 50k mark, after travelling for precisely 1 hour. In one hour the bee travels 75k.
