If it was live-action then it might have been 3 Ninjas if not then that's all I've got.

Googling "kung fu beehive" results in this list
of vintage martial arts films. Maybe one of them is the one you're looking for. I'm certain that 3 Ninjas is not what the O.P. requested!
This is a scene I remember from an old martial arts film my brother and I saw on "Kung Fu Theater" probably in the late 70s or very early 80s. A big hulking brute of a guy, completely bald except for a pony tail, is one of the villains. In one scene, some kids use (I think) a slingshot to knock a bee's nest out of a tree. It lands on the guy's head and when he pulls it off his face is comically swollen and disfigured. One of the heroes fights him and in the course of the fight he flips over the big bad guy and rips off his pony tail.
That's really about all I remember. Anyone know what movie this might be?
