CockroachDB at least refers to their marketing line of "almost impossible to kill/take down" and the way it scales to many servers. There are few less gross insects they could have used though like Bees or Ants.

Bees and ants don't have anywhere near the same rep for invincibility. Only one of those animals is a stereotypical nuclear apocalypse survivor.

Bee DB is catchy, but would probably violate some sort of Buck Rogers IP
