I would either use the score or a timer to progressively make the game harder. For example, you could use an if statement to test if the score is at certain level and then increase the spawning speed of your projectile sprites. You could also do this using the game timer. Another option would be to create a variable to control the speed of your bee sprites. You could increase their speed as well when the score or timer reaches a specific level.
