<p>Beedrill is called Poison Bee Pokemon, but Kingdra is called Dragon Pokemon when it's clearly a seahorse. I'd say it's based off a wasp, due to the fact that its main feature is a sting. Bees sting once then die, but wasps can sting as many times as they want, just like Beedrill. Hence the 3 stingers.</p>

Kingdra isn't a seahorse, but a close relative called the [seadragon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_seadragon). Dragalge is also based on one (specifically, the [leafy seadragon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leafy_seadragon)).

<p>Beedrill is a dual-type Bug/Poison Pokemon. In your form of question of if he is a Bee or a Wasp, he is indeed a Bee.</p>

Its "species" is identified as "Poison Bee Pokemon" in both English and Japanese for what that's worth. See [its Bulbapedia article](http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Beedrill_(Pok%C3%A9mon)) for more details.

If you are trying to relate this to real life, then surely we must go back to the roots http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weevil
