* ''VideoGame/BugFables'': While the beehive itself is simply a peaceful town and the bees are friendly [=NPCs=], the Honey Factory crosses this theme with EternalEngine. The environmental hazards include large pits and moats filled with honey, and the enemies consist of robotic bee drones, honey-shooting turrets, and globs of living honey.

* ''VideoGame/HollowKnight'' has [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the Hive]] in the Kingdom's Edge region where all enemies, who are linked to bees or hornets, are protecting their [[spoiler:deceased]] queen: you fight bees [[TheGoomba who content themselves to float near you]], zombie bugs wearing small beehives around themselves that spawn out small bees, large bees who pull out their dart [[LeeroyJenkins and attempt to sting you]], and giant bees [[UnskilledButStrong who bounce through walls]], [[spoiler:but also a desperate knight [[UndyingLoyalty watching for his queen's grave]]]].

Its decorations and items are also bee-themed -- the geo deposits found elsewhere in the game are replaced by chunks of honey studded with coins, while several areas have walls of wax or crystallized honey that must be broken to progress.

A level seen in video games that takes place almost exclusively inside a beehive. Due to the nature of this level, it is in the realm almost exclusively of {{Platform Game}}s. It has sticky honey or beeswax that will get stuck on characters and will often have a [[TheMaze mazelike]] level design, with hexagonal background tiling evoking honeycombs (though this geometry rarely influences gameplay). There will be a Queen or [[AnimalGenderBender King]] bee that needs to be fought.

Wasps, hornets and other suitably annoying flying, stinging insects can have their homes invaded by intrepid heroes as well. Since this level is full of enemy types that usually can't be defeated by traditional means, it can easily become ThatOneLevel.
