It doesn’t physically hurt the bird, but don’t do this to you pet parrots, doves, finches etc. Flying is very important for their general health (the muscles responsible for flying also support breathing for example) and not being able to escape is incredibly harmful for their mental health as well (especially for parrots since they’re so intelligent).
In comparison you can clip wings of pet chickens and ducks if needed to prevent them for escaping, since they don’t really rely on flying nor are harmed physically or mentally. And them being out open for the predators to snatch is a pretty high risk compared to some flight loss.
(No comments on the bees though, I don’t know enough about them to have an opinion that matters)
