This is not a trivial task. It depends on a lot of variables but the most important one is definitely the background. If your camera is static, you can use the background subtraction, this way you would detect anything that moves. After that, you would need to filter out the bees (considering there are other things that also move in your frame, if not, you are already done), which you can use Haar Classifier for. Or if you want a simplistic approach, all bees are more or less yellowish, you may go for traditional image processing techniques to filter the non-yellow matches.

As I said, it depends on a lot of parameters. but since you haven't provided any other information, I cannot help that much other.

That said, background substraction is your best bet as long as your camera does not move. If you also move around with your camera, then you should go for learning methods probably,
