* The Macintosh computer game ''{{Bugdom}}'' has a level and a boss fight that both take place in a beehive. The type of enemies include the flying bees that appeared in the earlier two levels that try to sting you, muscular worker drone bees that fire their stingers at you, and bee larvae with bee heads and stingers sticking out of them, the normal bees and muscular drones die once they lose their stingers it also has honey which if you land in it is a one hit kill as you sink in it and lose a life (unless you have the swim in water-type stuff that would normally kill you), as for the boss fight you do battle against a queen bee who shoots honey and summons the bee larvae with the heads sticking out, to damage her you need to use your rolling attack move on her.

* ''SuperMarioGalaxy'' brings us Honeyhive Galaxy and the Honeyclimb Galaxy. ''SuperMarioGalaxy2'' features the Honeybloom and Honeyhop galaxies. Slightly inverted, however, in that the bees are friendly, and the sticky honey can be used to scale walls.

* Stage 4 of the Tree Zone in ''SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins''.

** ''BanjoKazooie'' brought us this in a very limited fashion in the Click Clock wood.

* Stage 4 of the Tree Zone in ''SuperMarioLand 2: Six Golden Coins''.
* The obscure game ''Zapper'' has one called Crazy Apiary. It also doubled as an UnexpectedShmupLevel.

* The [[JungleJapes Biosphere]] in {{Metroid}}: OtherM has a single room that is a giant hive of Ki-Hunters, aggressive insectoid enemies driven only more aggressive by a roar heard nearby. You fight a bunch of them and then the King (who just sits in his hive) as a minor boss fight.

* The Hiun Gym in ''PokemonBlackAndWhite'' is, understandably for a Bug gym, themed around a beehive, complete with sticky honey walls to break through.

A level seen in video games that takes place almost exclusively in a beehive (or [[DonkeyKongCountry Hornet Hole]]). Due to the nature of this level, it is in the realm almost exlusively of {{Platform Game}}s. It has sticky honey or beeswax that will get stuck on characters and will often have a [[TheMaze mazelike]] level design. It goes without saying that EverythingsWorseWithBees. There will be a Queen or [[AnimalGenderBender King]] bee that needs to be fought. Of course, this videogame setting isn't limited to bees. Wasps, hornets and other suitably annoying flying, stinging insects can have their homes invaded by intrepid heroes as well. Since this level is full of enemy types that usually can't be defeated by traditional means, it can easily become ThatOneLevel.

* Obscure game ''Zapper'' has one called Crazy Apiary. It also doubled as an UnexpectedShmupLevel.

* ''{{Futurama}}'' episode "The Sting" has the crew initially going to one of these, and has Fry getting impaled and Leela being stuck in a coma. Everything's Worse With Gigantic Mutant Space Bees!

[[caption-width: 250: The difficulty here can really [[IncrediblyLamePun sting]] at times.]]

* The revolutionary game ''{{Apidya}}'' for the {{Amiga}} has a lot of these levels.
