A bee was a winged hive insect native to Earth which gathered nectar and pollen from flowers. Bees made honey and wax. Their wax could be used to make beeswax candles.

When Captain Kirk and Commander Spock were discussing Vulcan mating rituals, Kirk remarked that there was no need to be embarrassed about it and that it would also happen to "the birds and the bees". Spock logically responded that "the birds and the bees are not Vulcans". 

The children of the Starnes Exploration Party who were taken aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) pretended to be a swarm of bees, repeatedly exclaiming "bizzy" and threatening to sting the adults aboard the Enterprise.
