HMS Bee was an Insect-class gunboat of the Royal Navy, launched on 8 December 1915.

Initially built to patrol the River Danube during the First World War, after the war the Insects were transported to China and served on the Yangtze River.

On 12 December 1937, Bee, along with Ladybird, became involved in the Panay incident and came under fire from a Japanese artillery unit near Wuhu on the Yangtze.

Bee was paid off in 1938 when the gunboat Scorpion, the new flagship, arrived.
