There's a sci-fi book called Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky. The book is about genetically altered animals being used as weapons of wars. And it goes into the ideas regarding their ability to behave as autonomous beings worthy of the same rights as humans, versus being slaves to their nature.

The main characters are this Dog man thing, a bear, a large lizard, and Bees. It's "Bees" singular. It's a swarm of high adaptable bee-like insects that thinks of itself as a singular entity. So while the bulk of the book isn't related to Bees, you still get to read about interesting applications of an intelligent swarm that was built for war. And how it manages to think and adapt beyond war.

Reading this so far it's pretty kino.
