Are there any besides the dragon?
There probably* are. The only other elementary** beehive-pushing ship I know of using this specific mechanism is this c/17:
Code: Select all
x = 10, y = 5, rule = B34n7/S23

*If a beehive-pushing ship exists, it is probably big.
**It's not too likely that you'll find an engineered spaceship in a rule unless it has a puffer engine, replicator, or easily constructible duplicator.
(complete switch of topic)
In B3-y/S23 twin bees are a puffer/failed replicator:
Code: Select all
x = 3, y = 9, rule = B3-y/S23

A 4-engine 12c/32 ship:
Code: Select all
x = 54, y = 57, rule = B3-y/S23
