The bee tastes bitter because of the hops in the beer he drank!
Seriously, bacteria take some time to sour a beer, although I would not rule out wild yeast.
Call it Yellow Jacket (what ever style), and enjoy it until and if it gets undrinkable....

I am not kidding, I just read something about bee's or yellow Jackets having one of the best yeast's for making beer in them. I wish I could find where I read it? It was one of those mental notes; "if I am one of the last people on the earth, I gotta find some bee's to make beer". You should name this beer "Yellow Jacket"

I think the bigger question is, how did a bee get into an airtight fermenter?

I differentiate bees from the latter but have never truly understood the difference between wasps and hornets. Size, stripes, color. If they've got dangling legs and abdomen then they're a wasp to me.

I used to kill anything that flew near my beer. My girl is taking a college course about the extinction of some bee so I'm not allowed to go on a killing frenzy anymore
