| '''Bees''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as stinging insects, mostly commonly in the form of enemies. | | {{quote|Welcome to the [[Honeyhive Galaxy|Honeyhive Kingdom]]! [[Queen Bee|Our queen]] rules this land.|Bee|Super Mario Galaxy}} |
| | |
| | '''Bees''' are insects appearing in a number of [[Mario (series)|Mario]] and [[Yoshi (series)|Yoshi]] games. |

| ==History== | | ==History== |
| | ===''Super Mario Land''=== |
| | An early appearance of Bees is in world 1-2 of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', bees called [[Bunbun]] fly horizontally from right to left, and pause on regular intervals to drop a spear projectile. |
| | {{br}} |
| | ===''Super Mario Land 2''=== |
| | ''[[Super Mario Land 2]]'' features an entire bee-themed level, which is the only stage in the game where bee enemies appear. In the [[Tree Zone]] world, there is a level that takes place inside a beehive, which is populated by various bees; the common, homing enemy [[Bee'zerk]], the [[Skeleton Bee]], whom is similar to a [[Bee'zerk]] but has [[Dry Bones]]-like qualities, the [[Thwomp]]-like [[Fat Bee]], as well as bee youth; [[Egghead]], [[Bee Larva]] and [[Grubby]]. |

| | [[File:beeart64.jpg|100px|thumb|A '''Bee''' from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.]] |
| A small variety of Bees<ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|isbn=0-7615-2103-8|date=April 7, 1999|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|page=109 and 113}}</ref> appear as obstacles in certain levels, such as [[Jungle Hut]], in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They swarm around [[beehive]]s and will become agitated if the [[Baby Yoshi]]s approach it too quickly. If the Yoshis attempt to pass the hive while they are agitated, the bees will form a hand that will block them from passing. Throwing an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at the hive while the hand is formed will result in the bees hitting them. In order to pass the beehive, the Yoshi must slowly walk past it.
| | Bees appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where they fly around their [[Beehive]], not letting [[Yoshi]] pass. Yoshi has to walk slowly to prevent the Bees from bothering him. Other larger Bees also appear in ''Yoshi's Story'', as enemies that sting Yoshi if he gets too close. |
| | | {{br}} |
| Another variety of bee, the [[Bumblebee]], appears in [[Cloud Cruising]]. They will fly across the screen and will hurt the Baby Yoshis on contact. They can be defeated by a simple [[stomp]] or by being eaten, though they do not give any [[♥]]s or replenish the [[Smile Meter]] when eaten.

| ===''Mario Party'' series===
| |
| Bees in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] appear on boards and in [[minigame]]s alike. In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', beehives appear in the minigame [[Honeycomb Havoc]], where if a player winds up with one, they are attacked by bees and eliminated from the game. Bees in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' appear in [[Big Dripper (minigame)|Big Dripper]], where players must duck down to avoid the swarm while collecting their dripping honey. Additionally, players pilot bee-like aircraft in the minigame [[Buzzstormer]]. Bees in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' appear as part of an [[Event Space]] in [[DK's Stone Statue]], where they emerge from their hive with [[coin]]s that the player can collect; additionally, Bees in the minigame [[Hedge Honcho]] sting players if touched with a stylus, so the player has to wait for them to buzz off. Bees in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' resemble {{wp|Honey bee|honeybee}}s and are the main obstacles of the minigame [[Beeline Shrine]]. | |
| | |
| Bees also appear in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' on the board [[Mega Wiggler's Tree Party]].

| ===''Super Mario Sunshine''=== | | ===''Super Mario Sunshine''=== |
| Bees<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=19|date=September 3, 2002|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref> in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' are part of various [[Beehive]]s in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gelato Beach]], and [[Pianta Village]], and if [[Mario]] gets too close to a [[Beehive]] or knocks one down, the Bees swarm him, causing damage if he gets stung. A Bee can release a [[Gold Coin|Coin]] if eaten by Yoshi, though the last Bee of a Beehive always releases either a [[Blue Coin]] or a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. If Mario talks to an NPC while bees are chasing him, he will be pushed in random directions mid-conversation and will not take damage.
| | In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', various Beehives can be found in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gelato Beach]], and [[Pianta Village]]. If [[Mario]] gets too close to a [[Beehive]] or knocks one down, the Bees will swarm him, causing damage if he gets stung. Yoshi can eat these Bees for one [[Gold Coin|Coin]] each. The last Bee to be eaten always gives up a [[Blue Coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]]. |

| | ===''Super Mario Galaxy''=== |
| | [[File:SMG Honeyhive Bee.png|thumb|x100px|One of the Bees in [[Honeyhive Galaxy]].]] |
| | Another species of Bees appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. These Bees are different from the ones encountered in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in that they are the same size as Mario, and are capable of conversing with him. These Bees are also friendly to Mario, and serve the [[Queen Bee]]. In addition, the [[Bee Mushroom]] makes its first appearance in this game, which allows Mario to transform into [[Bee Mario]]. In this form, Mario is able to flutter through the air for a brief period of time, and also stick to and climb [[Honeycomb Wall]]s. |

| | ===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''=== |
| | [[File:SMG2 MH Friends.png|thumb|x100px|Many of the passengers, including one of the Bees, that visit [[Starship Mario]].]] |
| | Bees reappear in a few galaxies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', serving the same function that they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Occasionally, they will give the player helpful tips on how best to control Mario after he transforms into Bee Mario. After completing the "[[Honeybloom Galaxy#The Secret Wall Jump|The Secret Wall Jump]]" mission in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], a Bee appears onboard [[Starship Mario]], and tells the player that they can flutter higher in the air if they collect [[coin]]s while hovering as Bee Mario. |

| ===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
| | ===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''=== |
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
| | [[File:Beehoss.gif|thumb|A Beehoss and its Bees.]] |
| [[File:M&LBIS Beehoss and Bees Sprites.png|thumb|left|A Beehoss and its Bees in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'']] | | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', Bees would appear as enemies alongside the [[Beehoss]] enemy, which had the ability to summon Bees from its honey comb during battle. |
| Bees in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]] are encountered as enemies alongside another type of enemy, [[Beehoss]], which can summon Bees from its honeycomb during battle. Bees in the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode are used as the Beehoss's projectiles. In the remake, they use their design from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.
| | {{br}} |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
| | ===''Super Mario 3D Land''=== |
| Bees in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' are encountered alongside Beehoss once more, and if any bee is counterattacked and defeated on the Beehoss's turn, the remaining bees will return to perform an unavoidable attack on either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], depending on who counterattacked them.

| | [[File:HatchinBee3DLand.png|left|thumb|Stingby sprite.]] |
| | Bee enemies named [[Stingby|Stingbies]] appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and chase Mario. |
| | {{br}} |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
| | ===''Mario Kart 7''=== |
| In the opening of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'', [[Luigi]] is chased by a swarm of bees in a forest not far from [[Peach's Castle]], resulting in him nearly falling off a cliff before [[Mario]] saves him, which causes their hands to glow and create a portal that teleports them away to [[Concordia]].

|
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| | Stingbies from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' appear, along with the unrelated Queen Bee from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' in the game Mario Kart 7. Queen Bee appears as an unlockable playable character along with the Stingbies who appear in the battle course [[Honeybee House]], if a player hits one of the bees with their kart they spin out and (in Balloon Battle) lose a balloon. |
| Bees in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] are part of the [[Beehive]] item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. A swarm of bees are released from the Beehive when thrown at an opponent and attack them, but the bees also target a fighter if they attack their beehive.

| ===''Mario + Rabbids'' series=== | | ==Characteristics and Traits== |
| Bees in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' and ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' are ambient animals. | | The Bees of [[Mushroom World]] behave and appear similarly to their [[Earth|Real World]] counterpart, with very little difference between the two, except certain varieties are shown to have a single pair of wings, unlike the two pairs of wings all Real World Bees share. They often reside in [[beehive]]s where they will tend to their queen and produce [[honey]], Bees have also been shown to reside within a species of living beehives known as [[Beehoss]] with whom they share a symbiotic relationship. Bees, and their numerous [[Bee#Other Bee Species|subbranches]] are extremely territorial and will often attack in large numbers, even the more humanoid species are known to be violent. |

| | Bees also have a cosmic counterpart who, unlike their Mushroom World cousins are far more advanced and civilized, having a fully established kingdom which reigns over numerous colonized [[planet]]s throughout the [[Mushroom Universe|universe]]. Much like regular Bees, their duties consist of collecting honey and tending to their noble [[Queen Bee|queen]]. These Bees are anthropomorphic in appearance, with all of them wearing the same attire which consists of a white ruff around their neck and light blue gloves and shoes. Despite their friendly nature they appear to have rather pointy teeth. |
