The bees are probably faster if you include the time it takes to code a program for the supercomputer to run to actually solve the problem.
I'm saying 'probably faster' because that would depend on the algorithm and the speed of the coder or coders. I still bet a couple of talented well coordinated coders with a simplistic heuristic algorithm would still beat the bees in a realistic simulation (IE having to fly a distance to find said flowers similar to real nesting conditions, not through a hole or something 3' from the artificial flowers).
