|
| 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 {{file link|DK3 G&W pocketsize.jpg|North American box art}} gives them a less fuzzy appearance.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Buzzbees greatly resemble the unnamed stinger-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.
