When a White Heterosexual Affluent Male, or WHAM, feels threatened by non-WHAM, particularly in politics or pop culture, he will make obnoxious ad hominem attacks. But because the WHAM typically does not possess much intellect OR self-confidence, he'll enlist the help of other online bullies to swarm his victim: hence, BroHive.

Despite connotations, a responding member of BroHive needn't identify as male -- maintaining Patriarchy has often attracted females like Phyllis Schlaffly, that Jameela Jamil calls "Double Agents."

Similarly, while many associate "Bros" with Bernie Sanders, "BernieBros" is to "Bros" as "Square" is to "Rectangle." Often, BroHive will activate any time you mention, for instance, the Second Amendment. There is seldom an attempt to make any serious point; the swarm will merely make ridiculous Strawman Fallacies.

The point of BroHive is not to change hearts or minds, merely to harass people into silence. They will even do this to people who are ACTIVELY working on the causes that BroHive profiles CLAIM to support, if the victim doesn't support the cause EXACTLY the way the BroHive want. Furthermore, when victims of BroHive defend themselves, the root narcissism of BroHive will make them believe that they, the perpetrators, are actually the victims, at which point they feel justified in doxxing their victims, photoshopping their victims into offensive and often violent memes, etc.
"All I did was point out that Susan Sarandon, a wealthy and privileged white woman, was making some incredibly offensive statements about the Working Class taking a day off before resuming the fight against the GOP, and the BroHive swarmed on me like a field of statice."

A small- to medium-sized group of boys that move together in social situations. Early warnings of a boyhive being close are quiet murmurings accompanied by a loud ‘guffaw’ quickly followed by secondary murmurings.
I was going to approach Jack, but I couldn’t make it through the boyhive. I’ll just text him later.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
