Bees are a species of insect living in Ninjago and the Wyldness.
History
Stone Cold (non-canon)
Wu deciphered Cardinsto's hint towards the next villain he would have to fight just as he heard a swarm of bees pursuing him. Realizing they were servants of the Insect Master, Wu fled the bees, jumping into a nearby river. It was here that the Barracudox had planned a joint attack. Wu used his Spinjitzu to create a waterspout, defeating both opponents and leaving him exhausted.
The New Heroes
Riyu befriended some bees that resided around a meadow that the former was playing in. The bees were happy to play with Riyu and enjoyed their time with him. After Riyu spotted a group of dragon hunters, he asked the bees to play with the hunters so that he could escape. Unfortunately, the bees did not enjoy playing with these new visitors and returned to Riyu, unwittingly aiding in his capture by the hunters.
The Final Game
In the final match of the Tournament of the Sources, Sora spotted the Control implant on the back of Nokt's neck and used her powers to remove the implant and transform it into a bumblebee-like drone. Although Nokt laughed off Sora's efforts, she used his dismissal to her advantage, using the drone's stinger to deliver electrical shocks painful enough to bring her opponent to his knees.
Other appearances and mentions
Darkness Shall Rise
As the Serpentine generals brainstormed a plan to gain back the respect of the other Serpentine, Acidicus suggested they release a swarm of evil bees, which was quickly shot down by Skales, as they did not have any evil bees.
Mindless Beasts
Sora confidently asserted her title as the Master of Technology and warned the Claws of Imperium that she could easily transform their hover chariots into swarms of technological bees to attack them. One of the Claw Hunters then admitted to having apiphobia.

Trivia
- Swarms of bees have been used as metaphors twice in canon Ninjago books, once in The Lair of Tanabrax, and again in Quest for the Lost Powers.
- Presumably, they also live in the Wyldness since Nokt knows what a bumblebee is, and also they do appear in one of the Legends of Chima webisodes.
- Bees are somehow similar to wasps.
- The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame features a Ninjanuity Power called "The Art of the Stinging Bee."
