** ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'': Bzzap! are anthropomorphic bee-like enemies found in the Flower Fields and the Forever Forest. They attack by stinging Mario or by summoning swarms of smaller bees to attack him.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' have Stingbies, large bees with a stinger on their "nose" that appear in some grass-type levels, and attack by simply trying to fly into Mario. They also appear in the battle stage Honeybee Hive in ''VideoGame/MarioKart7''.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' has wild bees guarding beehives attached to tropical trees. Yoshi can eat them one by one and, in some cases, when all of them are eaten, either a blue coin or an extra life will appear.

* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', the squeedgers are bee-like aliens that attack you if provoked, but since they have a rudimentary danger system, they're easy to sneak past to harvest their honey from the queen. When female squeedgers mature into queens, they metamorphose into immobile hives to nourish their larvae with the honey they secrete from their deep, tunnel-like pores, and also protect them with an acid mist.

* Beedrill (mentioned below in Video Games) have appeared multiple times in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''. The vast majority of those times, they appear in swarms as a threat to hero and villain alike (often after being disturbed in some form).

* One of the enemies from the ''VideoGame/JazzJackrabbit'' games are bees. The first type in the first game aren't anything special aside from flying back and fourth and hurting the player when he touches them. The second type in the first game are armed with laser canons. The bees from the second game are much more agressive and hard to avoid as they actively chase the player to sting them when they are close enough to the bees.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': "[[Recap/FuturamaS4E12TheSting The Sting]]" revolves around an attempt to get space honey from space bees, which are "as large as a Buick and twice as ugly", and whose sting is deadly at best and capable of inducing fatal BodyHorror in the allergic. The Professor has apparently sent several crews to their death getting their honey. One of the {{Christmas Episode}}s episode has the bees return, though they're distracted by in-fighting. Then Hermes uses the magic of Kwanzaa to unify them again, and [[KillEmAll things quickly go south]]. [[Recap/FuturamaS1E1SpacePilot3000 The very first episode]] claimed the last crew were ingested by space wasps (possibly a misnomer for the space bees mentioned above).

* The second Red Bee underwent a brief FaceHeelTurn was mutated into a human-bee hybrid by an alien insect colony, which made her want to colonize the entire earth. She wound up retiring from superheroics after this was reversed.

* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Beedrill (mentioned below in Video Games) have appeared multiple times in the anime. The vast majority of those times, they appear in swarms as a threat to hero and villain alike (often after being disturbed in some form).
* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': When there is enough heavy weapons fire during an AirJousting battle Akira takes part in, it draws the attention of a NeglectfulPrecursors air control drone that’s a MechanicalMonster giant bee, who’s legs shoot a BeamSpam, and whose stinger is a WaveMotionGun. It also serves as a DroneDeployer for smaller drones with mirrors on them for a MirrorsReflectEverything effect of redirecting its smaller lasers.

* ''VideoGame/{{Spelunky}}: Killer bees occasionally show up in Jungle biomes when a hive spawns and will try to attack the player via contact. They only have 1 HP but their unpredictable flight pattern makes them harder to hit. Fortunately, they won't poison you. The Queen Bee is bigger and has much more health and drops Royal Jelly that give a huge amount of HP.

** ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry1'' and its sequel have Zingers as enemies, giant bees in multiple varieties that appear all over the place in levels. Many serve as bosses too, and there's that one in the terrifying chase scene in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest''.
