'''Buzzbees'''<ref>''Donkey Kong 3'' [[media:Dk3flyerback.png|back flyer]] (English).</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong 3'' NES instruction booklet, page 6.</ref> (or '''Buzz bees'''),<ref>''Donkey Kong 3'' NES instruction booklet, page 2.</ref> also referred to simply as '''bees''',<ref>MICRO VS. SYSTEM ''DONKEY KONG 3'' instruction, page 8.</ref> are insect-like enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. They are the primary units of the [[beehive]]s in [[Stanley]]'s greenhouse. They attack by either throwing darts or swooping down from their hives, trying to steal Stanley's [[flower (Donkey Kong 3)|flower]]s. In the original arcade version, succeeding in this turns them into [[Super Bee]]s. One or two will sometimes escort [[Beespy|Beespies]], where they are referred to as '''Guards'''.<ref>''Donkey Kong 3'' NES instruction booklet, page 7.</ref> After round 12 (9 in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version), their appearance is altered.

While unnamed, a Buzzbee first appears in ''[[Greenhouse|Green House]]'' for the [[Game & Watch]], poking a cat as the game's alarm.

In ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]'', Buzzbees transform into Super Bees when they are sprayed once. Being sprayed a second time defeats them. The design of Buzzbee itself is based on earlier rounds from the arcade game.

Buzzbees reappear in the [[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|''Donkey Kong 3'' Game & Watch]], where they are simply called "bees." Stanley and [[Donkey Kong]] use their sprayers to force the bees to sting each other. One version of the {{media link|DK3 G&W pocketsize.jpg|North American box art}} gives them a less fuzzy appearance.

==Trivia==
*Buzzbees greatly resemble the unnamed stringer-wielding bee enemy from ''[[nwiki:VS. Ice Climber|VS. Ice Climber]]''. In the [[Family Computer Disk System|Disk System]] version, this enemy is replaced with a Nitpicker.
