The Killer Bees were a tag team composed of "Jumpin" Jim Brunzell and B. Brian Blair in the World Wrestling Federation from 1985 to 1988 and later on the independent circuit.

Jim Brunzell made his debut in 1972, achieving most of his fame along with Greg Gagne as “the High Flyers" in the Minneapolis-based American Wrestling Association, where the two won the AWA World Tag Team Championship on two occasions.

[2] B. Brian Blair was trained by Hiro Matsuda and made his debut in 1977 in the Florida-based promotion Championship Wrestling From Florida, competing in various territories (including the WWF) before 1985.

The “masked confusion" idea was given to Blair by Billy Red Lyons, who had used it in Maple Leaf Wrestling (as a singles wrestler).

With Blair unable to appear for the team's match against Demolition, he was replaced by S. D. Jones, an African-American journeyman who wore the Bees' black and yellow tights for the day.

The inverse would occur later, as Jones replaced Brunzell and teamed up with Blair in a Prime Time Wrestling TV taping, against Demolition.

In August 1986, they faced Hoss and Jimmy Jack Funk in front of 70,000 people at The Big Event in Toronto,[1] a card headlined by Hulk Hogan vs. Paul Orndorff.

By this point, the Bees' stock was clearly slipping in terms of their card placement, though they were one of two teams (with the Young Stallions) to "survive" the 10-team elimination match at the inaugural Survivor Series on Thanksgiving Day 1987.
