| | '''Bees''' are insects. They first appeared in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where they would fly around their [[beehive]], and won't let [[Yoshi]] pass. Yoshi had to walk slowly so he wouldn't bother the Bees. |

| '''Bees''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as stinging insects, mostly commonly in the form of enemies.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | Other larger bees also appeared in ''Yoshi's Story'', as enemies that would sting Yoshis if he got too close. |
| ===''Yoshi's Story''===
| | [[Image:Bee.jpg|thumb|left|Three bees from Super Mario Galaxy.]] |
| {{multiframe|[[File:Story Bees.png]]|bg=black}}
| | Bees also appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Various [[Beehive]]s could be found in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gelato Beach]], and [[Pianta Village]]. If [[Mario]] got too close to a beehive, or knocked one down, the bees would swarm him, causing damage if he gets stung. [[Yoshi]] could eat these bees for one [[Gold Coin|Coin]] each. The last Bee to be eaten always gave up a [[Blue Coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]]. |
| 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. | | Another species of Bees appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. These bees are friendly to Mario and work for the [[Queen Bee]]. Also, a [[Bee Suit]] appears. The Bee Suit enables the player to flutter for a brief period of time, which is sometimes both helpful and annoying. It also allows Mario to stick to honeycomb walls. |

| ===''Mario Party'' series=== | | == Other Bee Species == |
| 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]].

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.

| | [[Category:Yoshi Species]] |
| 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.
