Strategy:

Ok, first i wanna explain the 1-offs that are in this deck.
Bunnelby: Helps repairing a bad start (making super rods and DCEs came to deck in case of urgent sycamore), and occasionally can mill your opponent in late game if its needed (and it's a Pokémon, if isn't needed in the match, just discard it 4 more damage)
2 Slurpuff lines: Is one of the best drawers for da bee imo. 2 lines for more consistency, but you may use only 1, discard the other.
Flareon: Needed for the blacksmith and exploiting weakness, but since we got bunnelby to return DCE, blacksmith is going to be less important, thats why i only run one
Jolteon: CRay is a 220 hp monster that you don't want to fight without some help (also is for yveltals-ex and lugias-ex)
Jirachi: Giratina is most of the time a bad matchup to vespiquen, with jirachi we can discard its DDEs and DCEs safely, this also can work against night march since they can't touch jirachi (if the opponent doesn't run special energies, just discard it)
Banette Line: I'm sure that most who are reading won't run a banette, but its helps in some disfavorable matchups, it disabilitates spirit links and sashes, so mienshaos and m manectric are going to be less anoying for this deck, and also can work disabling float stones if u are facing something like gengar or just to lysandre/mill with bunnelby to something with high reatreat (but the last is almost never going to happen :D) and you know what is going to happen if u don't need it
Super Rod: You only can run 4 lines of vespiquen,but sometimes you'll need to keep the offensive. Super rod will help you recovering the bee's u have discarded or just simply got KO. I prefer super rod than sacred ash since with sacred ash u have to return 5 pkmns reducing heaviliy your damage and with super rod u only return 3 that can also be energy in case for exact damage calculations.
AZ: Oh no... I started with shaymin, I need to take this last KO, but im asleep/paralyzed, or, my Pokémon is too damaged/vulnerable. AZ is simply the solution for this 3 reasons.
Blacksmith: Is a staple in vespiquen decks since it can supply the energies for attacking instead of using DCE
Birch: Just in case you really don't want to discard. You can also run Judge, but i haven't tested it yet :D
Teammates: The bees are an easy KO for your opponent, with teammates you can take advantage of your opponents KOs.
Faded Town: Megas have around 240-210, and you don't want to discard that much
Float Stone: Is mainly for slurpuff, but also can help to easy reatreat a Pokémon without using AZ

Well i wont speak bout the strategy because everybody knows how to use vespiquen (Set, discard, attack)

Please leave me some feedback, and tell me what you think.

Thanks for reading:)
PD: (My English isn't too good :confused:)
