There's nothing left but to run for your life!
 
Subtropes include [[Bee Bee Gun]]. Related to [[EverythingsEverything's Worse With Bees]] and [[The Swarm]]. While [[The Swarm]] refers to anything tiny and dangerous in large numbers, [[Gosh Hornet]] is exclusive to stinging insects (particularly bees, wasps, and hornets).
 
This is mostly an [[Animation Tropes|animation]] and [[Comedy Tropes|comedy trope]].
Line 16:
 
To escape the swarm, the character will almost always jump into a body of water. Since bees can't swim, they are usually forced to give up - [[Television Is Trying to Kill Us|which isn't advised in real life]], [[Super Persistent Predator|since they wait.]]

Line 57:
* In ''[[Amanin Shoujo Azuki]]'' it's mentioned that ninja-in-training Azuki is known for accidentally disturbing beehives when climbing trees.
* The feudal romantic-comedy ''[[Abarenbou Shounangon]]'' has spunky protagonist Sei throwing rocks at a beehive so she can collect the honey within. Her companion warns her to stop, but a comical mishap ends with Sei being stung.
* In ''[[Steel Ball Run]]'', an enemy Stand User releases a swarm of bees on Johnny and Gyro. What's worse, each bee is rigged with a bomb! (This is par for the course with a ''[[Jo JosJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'' story.)
* An episode of ''[[Sherlock Hound]]'' has Sherlock substituting a draped cage with valuable a parrot in it with a draped cage with a hornet's nest in it, this isn't found out until the villains are high up in the air on their little airplane and can't exactly run.
* Episode 12 of ''[[Yume no Crayon Oukoku]]'' has protagonist Silver playing dead to elude a bear. She's almost successful, but her monkey companion accidentally knocks a beehive next to her, leading to both the bees and the bear attacking her.
Line 140:
* ''[[Wonder Boy III Monster Lair (Video Game)|Monster Lair]]'' has a giant wasp nest and its queen as the boss of Stage 4.
* ''[[Donkey Kong Country]] 3'' has a level in which the player must outrun a swarm of bees. Completing it within one minute and fifteen seconds unlocks a bonus area.
* ''[[Frogger]] 3D'', in the Honey Bee Hollow level. While the stage isn't very large, any beehive you approach will spawn a swarm of bees that chase you down relentlessly. Given that Frogger is a [[One -Hit -Point Wonder]], this level is considered a somewhat early [[Difficulty Spike]].
* ''[[Clonk (Video Game)|Clonk]]'' has [[Call a Rabbit A Smeerp|zap]] nests. Breaking them results in this, and they are annoyingly fragile. It's fun to catapult them into your enemies base though. There's also a spell that creates a small group of zaps that will float around the caster, waiting to sting any nearby dangers.
* ''[[Legend of Legaia (Video Game)|Legend of Legaia]]'' has three killer bees and their queen in the main character's hometown, defeating them gives you honey which permanently boosts your stats. However, the bees are about level 18, however, and will completely mutilate you until you return after the halfway point of the game.
Line 175:
* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' episode "Frenemy Mine" has Timmy handing Vicky a beehive to try and get her to stop being nice to him. She gets badly stung, but still manages to contain her anger.
* In the ''[[Hey Arnold]]'' episode "Helga's Boyfriend," bees attack and sting Helga because of a flower she's wearing on her hat.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': The episode "Winter Wrap Up" sees this happen to Twilight Sparkle when she runs into a tree after getting startled by a flock of bats.
** And then in the episode "Feeling Pinkie Keen" Pinkie Pie's "Pinkie Sense" allows her to hide from an angry bee swarm that pops out from nowhere, but Twilight Sparkle isn't that lucky.
** In "Fall Weather Friends, Applejack uses a beehive to attack Rainbow Dash during the race.
