"Beeware" is the 3rd episode of the supernatural drama television series Grimm of season 1, which premiered on November 11, 2011, on NBC. The episode was written by producer Cameron Litvack and consulting producer Thania St. John, and was directed by Darnell Martin.
Opening quote: "She'll sting you one day. Oh, ever so gently, so you hardly even feel it. 'Til you fall dead."
In a streetcar, a man turns on a boombox with the song YMCA, which prompts the people in the train to dance inside. When everyone leaves the streetcar, the driver discovers a woman, Serena Dunbrook, dead in the streetcar. Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) respond to the scene where they find the corpse. It looks as if she was allergic to something, which turns out to be anaphylactic shock from a bee poison. They deduce the attacker seized the chance to kill her.
In the station, they interview 22 people who boarded the streetcar, all of whom say they were told to be on that streetcar at a certain time. During the interrogation, Nick discovers two of the people, Doug Shellow and John Coleman, are Mellifer species. Nick and Hank follow them to a factory where they meet with a woman (Nana Visitor). Nick and Hank are then attacked by a swarm of bees. Hank is wounded and is treated by Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch). Nick heads with Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) back to the warehouse where they discover an envelope addressed to the woman he saw: Melissa Wincroft. They go to her mansion and which they discover is empty and filled with dead bees and hives.
Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) calls Nick and Hank to a crime scene where Camilla Gotleib, Serena's co-worker at a law firm, was killed. Contacting a third attorney, Nick finds out the attorney is Adalind Schade (Claire Coffee), the woman who attacked him in the hospital but he remains silent. The forensics show Nick that both victims' tongues had a mark below, indicating the victim was a Hexenbiest. After Nick interrogates Shellow again, Shellow sends a message to alert Melissa to target Adalind.
