Basically, the worst fate in the universe is to be covered in bees. Nothing so small should cause so much fear amongst creatures so much larger... and yet they do. The distinctive coloration. The [[Hell Is That Noise|horrible buzzing noise.]] The danger of stinging. The way they move in swarms. The kamikaze mentality. And of course, if you're allergic or if there are a lot of the little bastards, they can put you in the hospital or even kill you.

* ''[[Second City]]''{{'}}s 1995 mainstage show was called "A Pinata Full of Bees." Note that Second City's titles tend towards either really bad [[Pun]]s or just plain [[Word Salad Title]]s.
* Dane Cook lampooning the idea of killer bees: "It's a fucking bee! I could understand if it was like killer horses! That's scary shit!"

* [[Dungeons & Dragons]] has had, in several versions of its bestiary, various forms of stinging insects. Among these is the mantis-armed,
** There's also a monster that's basically an anthropomorphic bee, though that might be something of a subversion since the bee people are not in fact evil.
* ''[[BattleTech]]'' features [[Humongous Mecha]] named after stinging insects, including the ''Wasp, Hornet, Stinger,'' and ''Firebee.'' The 'worse' is relative, as while they're still at least twenty tons each and rather dangerous to infantry and light vehicles, they are [[Fragile Speedster|Light Mechs]] with rather little in the way of armor or offensive weaponry compared to their far larger brethren. Of the four designs named, only the ''Firebee'' proves to be much of a threat due to being nearly twice as big and twice as well armed as any of the other three.
