Bee afraid. Bee very afraid. Have you ever been to a picnic where everyone freaks out when a bee buzzes by? Wouldn't it bee great if you could take that primal reaction and channel it for your own purposes? As it turns out, quite a few writers have had just that thought. Enter the Bee Bee Gun — the weaponization of flying, stinging insects. Bees tend to bee effective weapons of terror for a number of reasons — they're too small to shoot or stab, they always seem to come in swarms that can cover every inch of a person, they're difficult to outrun or outmaneuver, and they make that terrifying buzzing noise. Unlike honeybees and some others in the real world, these ones don't seem to die after the first sting. And god help you if you're allergic. ("Your insides will boil out of your eye sockets like a science-fair volcano!") And if you're not, well, beeing stung to death by thousands of bees would bee a rather slow and unpleasant way to go. In Real Life, of course, a foraging bee isn't likely to sting you unless you handle it roughly, or it perceives you as a threat to the hive. Honeybees die when they sting mammals (the workers, that is — drones cannot sting at all) beecause their stingers are barbed, so when they attempt to pull it out, they wind up wrenching it out along with a portion of their intestines; as a consequence, they're not likely to do it unless they think it's really damn important. (Most wasps such as yellowjackets, and relatively solitary bees such as bumblebees, on the other hand, have smooth stingers that enable them to be pulled out of whomever they sting, and they take malicious glee in reminding everyone of this fact.) A stinging bee (or a crushed bee) releases attack pheromones that attract and rile up more bees. The pheromone sticks around and does not wash off quickly. Water is not an ideal deterrent — bees will sting whatever parts are above the water, and come after you when you get out. Bee venom is designed to make you think you've been hurt badly, and enough of it causes your throat to swell so that you asphyxiate. The sensation is not unlike that of beeing stung by ants or nettles, as all three use a venom cocktail that includes formic acid. Ironically, a true swarm of non-Africanized bees is not particularly hostile, since they do not have a hive to defend; some people swear by bee venom therapy for arthritis, etc.; and when bee workers kill their queen they do so not by stinging, but by balling up around her and vibrating their muscles until the heat kills hernote which is also how Japanese honeybees defend their hives from Asian giant hornets. Mmmm... popcorn. The Bee Bee Gun comes a few varieties, such as: An actual gun that shoots bees. A special ability to control bees. A character that is actually made of bees. The simple act of lobbing a beehive, a wasp nest or a jar or bottle filled with the insects at someone else. Dogs with bees in their mouths so when they bark they shoot bees at you. A subtrope of Living Weapon — specifically Attack Animal, if the bees are actually trained for combat purposes. If the bees are being shot like bullets from a gun, it overlaps with Abnormal Ammo. Often hits Somewhere, an Entomologist Is Crying, because real bees often do not work that way. Note that beeing able to control all kinds of insects is a semi-common Stock Superpower, but bees, specifically, just seem to bee the go-to insect for this kind of thing, though wasps are also popular. Must be that whole Hive Mind idea. Or maybe it's because "bees" just sounds funny. Or it may bee that they're one of the more terrifying insects one may see on a regular basis. For instances where the attacking bees/wasps/assorted stinging insects are not under someone's control, see Bee Afraid. |

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has bees that can be used as supporters in battle, but without the normal and golden bee distinction from its SNES predecessor. Regular bees appear and attack you when you cut tall grass, but you can catch them in a jar to use as a weapon for later. They will target a single enemy and sting them until they die, and will fly away once their target goes down. | |

In the novel The Road to Damascus, a Bolo story written by Linda Evans and John Ringo, at one point in an alien invasion of their world, some protagonists throw the bee hives used for making honey into a barn where several of the invader's soldiers are found, killing the soldiers. The bees were genetically designed to be more aggressive to force out native competitors on other worlds. | |

The Wicker Man (2006): "Not the beeeeeeeees! ARGLEBLARGLE MY EYES! MY EYYYYYYYYES!" There was potential for horror here somewhere, but it ended up as possibly the Narmiest moment of Nicolas Cage's career. Which is why the scene didn't make the final cut. It is worth noting that there were no bees whatever in the original. There were some apples, but they never attacked anyone. (They didn't need to.) | |

Digimon has a few of these, some of which are bees themselves: Archnemon/Arukenimon of Digimon Adventure 02 could control insects with her flute. This included a swarm of Flymon, who, despite the misnomer, are bees. (It also included Digmon and Stingmon, two insectoid protagonists.) The broader Digimon canon as a whole contains numerous bee species; its exemplars for this trope are the Funbeemon family — the Adult/Champion form's stinger takes up most of its body, the Perfect/Ultimate form IS several fucking shoulder-mounted laser cannons, and the Ultimate/Mega form is a Dual Wielding Bee People cyborg knight. One Monster of the Week in Digimon Adventure: (2020) is a CannonBeemon that acts as an Airborne Aircraft Carrier for a swarm of Waspmon who were hunting down Funbeemon to capture and corrupt. The shoulder-mounted honeycomb acts as a series of entrance and exit hatches for the Waspmon. This doesn't really make it any less dangerous on its own as its stinger is a landscape-wrecking Wave-Motion Gun. Digimon Next has several CannonBeemon that invert this, having been modified to carry hundreds of BladeKuwagamon and fire the razor-sharp beetles from their cannons. |

Dragon Age: Mages have access to the Stinging Swarm spell, which engulfs enemy targets in a swarm of bees. Mages who specialize in shapeshifting can even transform themselves into a particularly large swarm. Dragon Age: Inquisition: Jars filled with bees can be used as in-game items that are tossed at the enemy. The Trespasser DLC goes further, with a new unique mace, the Cudgel of the Gold-and-Ebon Queen, which is a beehive on a stick. Each attack with it has an automatic chance to inflict the status effect Bees! on the target. The DLC also adds a new Masterwork crafting item, the Fade-Touched Honeycomb, which will grant the same power (chance to inflict Bees! with every attack) on whatever you craft using it. |

In Hunter: The Vigil one of the Endowments that could be afforded to hunters of the Cheiron Group to put them on an equal level with supernatural beings through Thaumotechnology was a Personal Defense Swarm, which was, in essence, a magical hand that shoots bees. The bees are hinted to be made from a Pandoran, and the user is advised to keep their emotions in check — one guy had found out his partner was sleeping with his wife; when he let the bees out against a bunch of monsters, they slaughtered his partner while the monsters tore the rest of the group to shreds. Also, to dial up the Nightmare Fuel, each individual insect in the swarm has the hunter's face instead of an insect head. | |

Something similar happens in Redwall at least twice: The original Redwall; Jess Squirrel and Silent Sam put a hornets' nest in a barrel and drop it over the wall onto the bearers of the battering ram. Marlfox; the Abbeydwellers see that the titular villains and their followers are knocking down an old tree to use as a battering ram. They do nothing, because they know that said tree is full of wasp and termite nests, and the attackers suffer the consequences. Not quite the same, but Martin and his friends in Martin the Warrior get trapped in a clearing full of angry bees. In the most recent novel Doomwyte, some of the characters are attacked by bees apparently ruled by an elderly female hedgehog who is... a few honeycombs short of a full hive, so to speak. Unfortunately, the plot device they need is in her possession and she won't give it up so easily. Eventually, however, she is killed by her own bees. Then there's Owch Mansions in Eulalia, designed to be a paradise for wasps. Very handy when vermin come to call. |

There are several variations of this in Enter the Gungeon: The Jar of Bees, a jar of bees that you throw at enemies. The Bee Hive, a literal beehive which you shake to send bees out to attack enemies. The Stinger, a missile launcher whose projectiles explode into swarms of bees. The Honeycomb, which automatically releases a swarm of bees if the player is hit. Bumbullets, which causes a homing bee to occasionally come out of the player's gun while shooting or charging up a shot. Various combinations of items grant bonuses that add even more ways to make bees spawn. BEES! |

There was supposed to be a villain named Kane in Heroes season 2 that could control insects, with bees being his main "weapon". But he never showed up. This may be because of the Writer's Strike, or perhaps due to Special Effect Failure. Or, more likely, given that this is Heroes, they didn't have the budget to show it more than once. | |

Rescue 911: One of the segments detailed a traffic accident that involved a driver stuck in his vehicle, which was turned on its side—and the vehicle was a truck carrying bees. The bees were released. The fact that it happened at night didn't help; the bees were even more agitated by the headlights and sirens. This resulted in several rescue workers being sent to the hospital as well, and that stretch of the roadway had to be shut off for a few days. Ah, a testament to the power of bees. | |

In RWBY, Cardin Winchester attempted to have a jar of sap thrown at Pyrrha Nikos, then have a box of Rapier Wasps opened in her presence. Subverted in that Jaune Arc throws the sap at Cardin instead, and the box never gets opened. | |

Dragon Age: Inquisition: Jars filled with bees can be used as in-game items that are tossed at the enemy. The Trespasser DLC goes further, with a new unique mace, the Cudgel of the Gold-and-Ebon Queen, which is a beehive on a stick. Each attack with it has an automatic chance to inflict the status effect Bees! on the target. The DLC also adds a new Masterwork crafting item, the Fade-Touched Honeycomb, which will grant the same power (chance to inflict Bees! with every attack) on whatever you craft using it. | |

While the type of insect isn't specified, in Dead of Summer, a bad guy attacks Commander with this. They're biting insects as opposed to stinging ones, first eating part of his clothing before attacking. Unlike some other examples, it's played seriously and frighteningly.

An article in Dragon #260, "The Greater Drakes", introduced the hive drake or arsalon. Like most greater drakes, it used its throat pouch to create a non-magical Breath Weapon. In this case, it generated a sweet liquid that encouraged hornets or wasps to nest in its pouch and, when annoyed, it would contract the pouch and expel them at its enemies (the arsalon itself was entirely immune to insect stings.) | |

"X-Cops": Mulder and Scully wind up on the TV show COPS in Los Angeles chasing a monster that assumes the form of its victim's worst fear. Though the viewers don't get to see it, one of the cop's fears is a bee-man and the man is nearly stung to death. And The Movie had the government genetically engineering bees that could deliver The Virus in their sting. X-Files really loves this trope. |

In the Amazons Attack! storyline in DC Comics, the Amazons deployed a secret weapon: bees — or, technically, giant "stygian killer hornets" whose sting could kill a person within hours. Being "giant" meant they were not very hard targets to hit from a safe distance (unlike regular-sized insects), and since their venom took "hours" to kill someone (unless a cure was found (which it was)) they were arguably far less deadly than a weapon that killed someone instantly. For a "secret weapon" unveiled by an invading nation that was already supposedly bringing America to its knees they left something to be desired. And there was only about a dozen of the things anyway. There was also a running gag in Wonder Woman, post-AA, in which a special agent had to keep being reminded he wasn't recovering from an ordinary bee sting. Parodied in Blue Beetle, where Traci Thirteen uses a staff to cast "Gds Ddly Wpon" — magical Bees. (Obligatory response from Jaime's father? "My God.") | |

Dungeons & Dragons: D&D 4e has the Swarm Druid, and divine spellcasters in earlier editions often had the stinging swarm spell, which not only covered a target in a swarm of biting or stinging insects, but the swarm could spread and would distract any caster who tried to perform a spell while afflicted. An article in Dragon #260, "The Greater Drakes", introduced the hive drake or arsalon. Like most greater drakes, it used its throat pouch to create a non-magical Breath Weapon. In this case, it generated a sweet liquid that encouraged hornets or wasps to nest in its pouch and, when annoyed, it would contract the pouch and expel them at its enemies (the arsalon itself was entirely immune to insect stings.) |

Of presumably bio-engineered bees. They are actually effective against the friggin' Hulk, who's proven capable of shrugging off nuclear weapons. Fortunately, his signature 'hand clap' attack is effective at dispersing the little buggers... | |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, you can catch bees and use them to attack enemies. Normal bees will only sting enemies a preset number of times before heading back to you, and will start stinging you unless you catch them again. Special "golden bees" returns to you afterwards without attacking, and sticks around as long as there are live enemies around. Given enough time they will kill entire screenfuls of enemies. The Golden Bee is also one of the most useful weapons for the boss fight against Mothula. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has beehives that can be dislodged to release a swarm of angry bees at anything underneath. Or, once you get the upgraded mechanical beetle, can be carried and dropped on any nearby enemies. Some even run in fear when they see buzzing stinging death approach. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has bees that can be used as supporters in battle, but without the normal and golden bee distinction from its SNES predecessor. Regular bees appear and attack you when you cut tall grass, but you can catch them in a jar to use as a weapon for later. They will target a single enemy and sting them until they die, and will fly away once their target goes down. |

BioShock: The "Insect Swarm" plasmid in the first game turns your arm into a living beehive and shoots bees at your enemies. Aside from being hilarious — though horrific — it's a decent way to distract an enemy if you're getting ganged up on and it's a cheap way to score a easy and quick kill with your wrench (with the right tonics) as any Splicer being stung counts as "unaware" letting you score a "sneak" attack. It gets more horrific in BioShock 2; you can upgrade so that dead enemies become hives, releasing bees against other enemies that get close. Still gives you a sneak bonus too, perfect against tough foes like Crawler Splicers or Brute Splicers. |

The Dirty Colossus in Demon's Souls is a variant, firing clusters of what are probably meant to be flies. The effect is the same as what you'd expect if they were bees: Get hit with one, and you'll be covered in a swarm that deals damage over time. The only way to get rid of them is to walk into a torch to burn them off. | |

Girl Genius: The Big Bad is a mad scientist (or possibly something far worse) who employs the so-called Hive Engines to produce and release a large amount of biomechanical bee-like creatures called slaver wasps, which infect and mind-control anyone standing in their way. Later, a minor Spark launches her insectlike "Poisonous Sky Wyrms" to try to battle a horse-monster. This doesn't work well, but fortunately, there's a Death Ray in the background. |

Vespiquen, Combee and Beedrill (a giant bee with enormous spikes on its forelegs), can also all be caught, tamed and sent out in battle as normal for the game. The Bug-type move Infestation coats the unlucky victim in a swarm of insects to take damage over several turns. |

Magic: The Gathering: Almost any card featuring aggressive bees or wasps — something the game has no shortage of — could count, given that the game's cards represent creatures being summoned by two planeswalkers — the players — in a magic duel against each others, but some cards openly depict various types of weaponized bees and wasps in-universe: The artifact Hornet Cannon depicts a cannon that fires robotic wasps. Belligerent Hatchling, an elemental that takes the form of a doglike creature with bees pouring out of its mouth. Hornet Harasser depicts a goblin that went to look for honey in a wasp nest and instead found something "far more interesting". Its card art depicts it carrying around a tame wasp colony, and it has the ability to instantly lower another creature's toughness and attack power — potentially enough to immediately kill a target creature — representing the damage done by the insects it unleashes. One of the cards released in Unstable, the third Un-set (non-canon card sets intended to be deliberately goofy, weird and off-the-wall), Bee-Bee Gun, depicts a dolphin-mole chimera shooting a swarm of fat bumblebees out of a Gatling gun fitted with a compartment filled with honeycomb. |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The Pain is a soldier whose body is also a living beehive. His powers can best be described as being covered in bees and covering others in bees. The official explanation for his abilities are... interesting at best. He got stung enough that the hornets thought he was a hornet too. Plus he kept a queen hornet pack at his hip. Apparently that's all you need to control hornets with your mind. And apparently all that you need to make hornets turn into a Tommy gun is a persuasive argument. Considering how big they are, the Pain appears to control Japanese Giant Hornets. If you defeat the Pain by stamina-killing him (lowering his stamina meter as opposed to his health meter) you get the Hornet Stripe camo, which lets you control bees if you shoot down a beehive close to you. You can then make the bees attack enemy soldiers if you get close enough to them. There is a better explanation in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Apparently he was infected with a specialized parasite that granted him the ability to secrete hormones that enabled him to control bees at will. Doesn't explain him making a Tommy gun, though. |

Warhammer 40,000: Numerous Tyranid bioweapons in fire the alien equivalent of bees, which then chew through the target's insides. Buzzer squigs are a sub-species of squiggly beast that resemble small, fat alien wasps with massive jaws. Some of the more primitive tribes of Feral Orks and Snakebites will often capture swarms of these ravenous creatures, seal them into containers and fire them at their enemies using crudely constructed artillery known as Squig Catapults. |

Archnemon/Arukenimon of Digimon Adventure 02 could control insects with her flute. This included a swarm of Flymon, who, despite the misnomer, are bees. (It also included Digmon and Stingmon, two insectoid protagonists.) The broader Digimon canon as a whole contains numerous bee species; its exemplars for this trope are the Funbeemon family — the Adult/Champion form's stinger takes up most of its body, the Perfect/Ultimate form IS several fucking shoulder-mounted laser cannons, and the Ultimate/Mega form is a Dual Wielding Bee People cyborg knight. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, you can catch bees and use them to attack enemies. Normal bees will only sting enemies a preset number of times before heading back to you, and will start stinging you unless you catch them again. Special "golden bees" returns to you afterwards without attacking, and sticks around as long as there are live enemies around. Given enough time they will kill entire screenfuls of enemies. The Golden Bee is also one of the most useful weapons for the boss fight against Mothula. |

In Suzanne Collins's novel The Hunger Games, Katniss, the heroine, gruesomely kills two of her opponents by dropping a hive of hyper-angry, mutated wasps called tracker jackers on them. The author describes, in full detail, one of the girls' slow, painful, seizure-filled death; and how the once "breathtakingly beautiful girl" is now unrecognizable from the stings. To make matters worse, a single sting from one of these critters is enough to induce vivid, terrifying hallucinations, as Katniss discovers the hard way. | |

Something about her having lighter armor than the other masters… Mega Man X3 has Blast Hornet, who shoots hornets at you as a primary attack. His weapon, the Parasite Bomb, is an Awesome, yet Impractical bomb that latches onto the enemies it hits and rams them into the nearest enemy they can find, blowing both of them up... until you charge it up. Then it shoots homing bees. Mega Man ZX Advent has a boss named Queenbee, who is (surprise, surprise) a giant robotic bee... with a rather sultry tone of voice. In addition to launching smaller bees (which explode!), she can also shoot fire from her stinger, and she will sometimes fly offscreen to pick up, then drop on you, a rather large bomb which explodes with Anime Light Beams coming out of it. |

Kingdom of Loathing: You can get past the wall of skin in the Naughty Sorceress's tower by throwing a beehive at it. It's possible to kill it in other ways, but the beehive is the method the game suggests. Speaking of, there used to be a door in the Sorceress's tower that shot bees at you if you entered the wrong code. The Guy Made of Bees is a, well, guy made out of bees who, naturally, uses bees to attack you. He commands his bees to swarm and sting you like you'd expect, but he can also punch you with a fist made out of bees, tell his bees to charge right at you, or put you into a "beehug", which is described as "like a bearhug but pointier". Successfully pickpocketing the Guy Made of Bees gives you a "handful of bees" item, which you can then use on your enemies to inflict a sizable chunk damage every round of combat. Good luck actually getting it though. There's an enemy called "beebee gunners", but it's simply a pair of bees holding a gun rather than this trope. |

The Conduit: In the first game, the Hive Cannon shoots exploding bees. In the sequel, targets can be tagged with sticky bait so the bees can home in on it. |

BlazBlue: Arakune is undoubtedly the ultimate summation of this trope. After he curses his opponent with any of his Drive attacks, he can press the same button again to summon bees that repeatedly hit you and keep you juggled in the air. Worse still is the fact that if you block, you remain in blockstun until they go out of range, leaving you in a very vulnerable state as Arakune rushes in to throw you. No wonder he's so hated. However, in Continuum Shift, you will have to fill up the curse gauge before you can use the bees. However, because the original mechanic had the curse dissipate the next time Arakune was hit, the curse now lasts longer. | |

One of the early Mission: Impossible episodes had the team trying to figure out who the killer was in an estate by gaslighting the suspect, and there were bees everywhere in the background. And there's a new corpse. In the climax, the door locks on its own, trapping the team out and the killer insde, and the killer is killed by thousands of bees swarming into the room. The new corpse turns out to be the late beekeeper of the estate. This was the only supernatural episode in the entire history of the show. | |

The Custom Robo series has a recurring hive-shaped Hornet Gun, which fires a swarm of slow-moving, homing, exploding hornets. One hornet is usually not a threat... but the Hornet Gun fires three to five of these homicidal homing bugs at a go and can quickly clutter a screen with hornets. | |

Terraria: There's a weapon simply named the Bee Gun that shoots homing bees. The Wasp Gun also does the same. There's also the Honeycomb accessory that releases bees when the player is damaged, and the Queen Bee fires bees as one of its attacks. In addition to the Honeycomb accessory and Bee Gun, the Queen Bee also drops the Bee Keeper, a sword that summons bees when it hits an enemy, and The Bee's Knees, a bow that converts any arrow it fires into a swarm of bees. |

The Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers episode "Risky Beesness" was about a wacko woman who wanted to break into the music business in the worst way — by hypnotizing bees into doing her bee-dding: getting them to seal away Iron Goose and keep people from leaving the concert. She also used them to attack the Rangers when they attempted to stop her. | |

City of Heroes: The monstrous Devouring Earth has "the Swarm", roughly spherical masses of bees that may be encountered independently or summoned by certain monsters. They're more a nuisance than a threat, except in large numbers; their stings do mild continuing damage and slow down the speed of your movement and attacks. City of Villains has a mission where you get to make these yourself courtesy of a jar of bees. One April Fools joke advertised a "Bee Bark Upgrade" that would grant various Dog and Wolf based pets the ability to shoot bees out of their mouths when they bark. |

Vampire: The Requiem: The Melissidae, a bloodline of the Ventrue, are vampiresses known as Queen Bees who attempt to organize themselves and those around them into complex hive-like societies. They have powers such as turning their blood tremendously addictive (more than the usual), causing pain with their kiss that's so severe you're unable to do anything other than writhe, and tearing apart your personality and memories to make you an near-mindless drone of her hive. And if it wasn't disturbing enough they also have the power to control bees (or wasps), store hundreds of them inside their stomachs/lungs, and release them any time they want. But one of the nastier things these bitches can do is to implant a queen bee inside your ear (or some other cavity), turning you into a living hive: The insects lay eggs and the larvae feed on you slowly, and you won't feel anything 'til they become adults and burst out of your body, ready for her to control. Let's put it this way: these girls so disgusting to the rest of vampire society that they tried to commit genocide on them. Too bad they missed three. | |
