'''Bees''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as stinging insects, mostly commonly in the form of enemies.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Story''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Story Bees.png]]|bg=black}}
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.

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''===
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.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
[[File:M&LBIS Beehoss and Bees Sprites.png|thumb|left|A Beehoss and its Bees in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'']]
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]]''.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
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.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
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===
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===
Bees in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' and ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'' are ambient animals.
