'''Beespies'''<ref>''Donkey Kong 3'' [[media:Dk3flyerback.png|English back flyer]]</ref><ref>{{cite|language=en|date=1986|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong 3'' NES instruction booklet|page=6}}</ref> (or '''Bee spies'''<ref>{{cite|language=en|date=1986|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong 3'' NES instruction booklet|page=2}}</ref>) are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. They are large members of the [[beehive]]s. Starting from round 3, Beespies begin appearing from the hives that [[Donkey Kong]] shakes loose. Like [[Buzzbee]]s, they can also toss spears but rarely do so in the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version. They take two shots of [[Stanley]]'s [[Sprayer]] to defeat; the first shot simply turns them blue (green in the Famicom and NES version). Even after the second shot, they split into four small stingers. Sometimes they are escorted by Buzzbee guards that increase their point value significantly.

Starting from round three, they begin appearing from the hives that [[Donkey Kong]] shakes loose. They take two shots of [[Stanley]]'s [[insect repellant|Sprayer]] to defeat; the first shot simply turns them blue (green in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version). Even after the second shot, they split into four small stingers that are still harmful to Stanley. Sometimes they are escorted by [[Buzzbee]] guards that increase their point value significantly.


In ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]'', Beespies take the form of [[Attacker]]s when they are sprayed once. Being sprayed a second time defeats them. They first appear in [[Leaving the Earth]], the sixth stage.
