I could understand killer horses... that's scary shit... flying through the air and kicking you in the face. That's scary. Fuck bees.

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker invents a frightening image of flying, kicking horses, then dismisses bees with an abrupt insult. The contrast makes the imagined danger extravagant and the rejection blunt. One reading finds the joke in demanding a more spectacular threat before granting fear any respect.
