Bee/Stinger themed champion

I think a bee/stinger themed champ would be really cool.

Having an ultimate ability that would actually cause the champion to die after a certain amount of time.

Not really sure about the rest of the kit..

Any ideas? Thoughts about a champion theme like this?

Dying after the ultimate would be incredibly harsh I'd think. It would either be incredibly strong (like after the sting, you lose a % of max hp and the enemy does too until you die) to balance the fact you just gibbed yourself, or to prevent it being an 'I only press this when I'm going to die anyway' button. Or it would be underwhelming to the point I don't think the champion would be played.

Perhaps part of a passive effect. Stinger gives X static ability, on death Champion stings enemy dealing X effect/status, and putting passive on CD for a set amount of time.

I do think the idea would be interesting for a Void creature, or perhaps another Shurima monster since Shurima seems to be all the rage at Riot right now. What would an African Killer Bee look like from one of those parts? Probably the stuff of Nightmares. Lets ask some Australians, they've probably seen them already.

Ive been hoping for a bee champion too. Though I think the ult idea might be a bit strong.
Though, I wouldnt mind seeing an ability that unleashed a swarm of bees that chased eney champions kind of like maokais sapplings. Maybe a sting/auto attack reset. A cc ability, perhaps a slow or snare, something stickylike.
