OK, first off, get 3 Shaymins. I know as hard as they are to come by, I learned the hard way if there's no 3 Shaymin, it's not a good Vespi list. you needed 4-5 more Pokemon anyway. Since Vespi needs a LOT of Pokemon, you reall do need more. I would suggest my list and work from there, since I've been winning a lot with my list. Here it is:

Pokemon:27

• 4 Vespiquen
• 4 Combee
• 4 Unown
• 2 Flareon
• 2 Jolteon
• 1 Vaporeon
• 3 Eevee
• 3 Shaymin-EX
• 1 Bunnelby
• 1 Jirachi
• 1 Pyroar
• 1 Litleo

Trainers:26

• 4 Sycamore
• 1 Lysandre
• 1 Blacksmith
• 1 Hex Maniac
• 1 Forest o' Giant Plants
• 1 Muscle Band
• 4 Ultra Ball
• 4 VS Seeker
• 4 Battle Compressor
• 4 Acro Bike
• 1 Revitalizer

Energy: 7

• 4 DCE
• 3 Fire

So that's the list. You only need one Revitalizer because you usually want the Pokemon in the discard. And, with your current list, with the lack of 3 Shaymins, and lack of 26-27 Pokemon, your list lacks the consistency to keep up with some other decks. And the absolute HARDEST matchups with Bees is Giratina as a whole. That's where Flareon and Blacksmith come in. You can also get around Aegislash that way. I also use Vaporeon instead of Mime because Entei destroys this deck, and you are sure to see that at Nats. Not to mention, bench sniping virtually doesn't exist in this format. I liked your incorporation of PoT, but the fact that it doesn't go through your deck may be a problem, so can you tell me actual situations you've been in where it has helped you?

On top of what Gumball has said, another option on top of Forest is Parallel City. The reasoning behind this is incase you have multiple Shaymin EX on your bench. This card can then save you from a possibly two prize knock out and you can always select the Pokémon you want to get rid of.
