From d20 Pathfinder SRD with thanks:
Striking yellow and black markings and a coat of bristling hairs cover this immense bee. Its stinger is the size of a dagger blade. Everything is, in turn, probably covered in pollen and/or nectar, because Wrong Way is not a tidy bee at lunchtime.
Giant bees grow to approximately 5 feet in length, with a similar wingspan. These creatures weigh 60 pounds and live in their adult form for nearly 10 years. Giant bees’ stingers are not barbed like those of their diminutive counterparts, so these creatures can sting foes repeatedly and do not die after one sting.
Wrong Way is a juvenile male Giant Bee, raised from infancy by and experiencing a significantly lengthened lifespan as a result.
For one thing, he actually started life believing that he was a Dire Bee! During an adventure, he accidentally doused himself in a magical potion, which faded eventually but never reversed itself. He stayed a Giant Bee. This is not how transformation potions work. So maybe it was a "reveal your true self" potion?
The more nectar Wrong Way eats, the bigger he gets, but on a "life" scale not a "combat time" scale.
Wrong Way ages extremely slowly for anything insect-like. He shows no signs of his calendar age at all. He took years to get from "baby bee" stage to "nearly an adult" stage.
Wrong Way's bestest buddy is Jesse Devonshire, a druid with a truly astounding chin.
When WW is in the sky scanning for trouble, he drops a twig with a leaf on Jesse.
When he goes on break, he drops a twig without any leaf, again aiming for Jesse's close vicinity.
If he sees danger, he drops a nut on Jesse's head and flies closer to Jesse for mutual protection.
Vulnerable to Smoke
Smoke from particularly smoky fires or effects (such as that created by a pyrotechnics spell) causes a giant bee to become nauseated if it fails a DC 14 Fortitude save. This condition persists as long as the giant bee remains in the smoke, plus 1d4 rounds.
Find your way!
