Fanon
While the two aren't the best of friends, it hasn't stop fans of the Miraculous Ladybug fandom from shipping them together. As Chloé's slow, growing kindness has gotten a few fans to hope that the two would one day become friends, since they work well together as Ladybug and Queen Bee.

Before Chloé had her first officially appearance as Queen Bee in season two of the Miraculous Ladybug series, the earlier revealed leaks of a Bee-themed superheroine and fans' much later conformed suspicions of the future Bee Miraculous holder and user being Chloé had gotten fans of the ship to place Chloé as her superheroine self.

Despite the fact that Hawk Moth and all of Pairs knowing who Queen Bee really is and it being the main reason why Ladybug made the hard choice of not entrusting Chloé with the Bee Miraculous again, for Miraculous and her loved ones own protection, one of the season 4 leaks shows that Chloé will be intrusted with the Bee Miraculous again, while her Queen Bee outfit appears to have changed a bit. Since Timetagger reveals that during the time of their adulthood, Ladybug and Cat Noir will be facing a different holder of the Butterfly Miraculous, as well as the fact that the main due will assemble a team that might have Chloé as one of its members.
