The Wasp Woman
The Wasp Woman (also known as The Bee Girl and Insect Woman) is a 1959 American independent science-fiction horror film produced and directed by Roger Corman. Filmed in black-and-white, it stars Susan Cabot, Anthony Eisley, Michael Mark, and Barboura Morris. The film was originally released by Filmgroup on June 10, 1959 as a double feature with Beast from Haunted Cave (1959). To pad out the film's running time when it was released to television two years later, a new prologue was added by director Jack Hill.

In the prologue, scientist Dr. Eric Zinthrop (Michael Mark) is fired from his job at a honey farm for experimenting with wasps.
