'''Honey Queen''' (known as '''Queen Bee''' in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'') is the queen of all the bees in the universe. She is an extremely large bee and always speaks using [[Wikipedia:Majestic plural|nosism]]. She appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' where she rules over all the bees in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy|Honeyhive]], [[Honeybloom Galaxy|Honeybloom]], and [[Honeyhop Galaxy|Honeyhop]] Galaxies, and as a heavyweight unlockable driver in ''Mario Kart 7''.

Honey Queen first appears in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' where she is a non-playable character. She rules over the Honeyhive Galaxy and helps Mario out in missions there. She first appears in the mission [[Honeyhive Galaxy#Bee Mario/Luigi Take Flight|Bee Mario Takes Flight]] on the [[Honeyhive Galaxy#Queen Bee Planet|Queen Bee Planet]] where she tells Mario that she is plagued by a terrible itchiness and asks him to stop it. The itchiness is, in reality, caused by five [[Star Chip]]s that have lodged in the hair on her back. Mario must become [[Bee Mario]] with a nearby [[Bee Mushroom]] and use his new powers to climb around her back and collect the Star Chips. After collecting all five chips, a [[Launch Star]] appears and sends Mario to the [[Honeyhive Galaxy#Starting Planet|final planet]] and the [[Power Star]].

 

Honey Queen reappears in the mission [[Honeyhive Galaxy#Big Bad Bugaboom|Big Bad Bugaboom]] at the end of the tunnel with three [[Mandibug]]s in it. She tells him that the neighbors are giving them trouble again and asks him to stop them, making a Launch Star appear that launches him to [[Honeyhive Galaxy#Bugaboom Planet|Bugaboom's planet]]. At the end of the game Queen Bee makes a final small appearance in the end-of-game party celebrating Mario's victory over [[Bowser]] along with [[Dino Piranha]] and a bunch of [[Goomba]]s and [[Toad (species)|Toads]].

In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Honey Queen makes a reappearance in the [[Honeyhop Galaxy]] this time where she takes her residence on top of the [[Honeyhop Galaxy#Queen Bee Planet|Queen Bee Planet]] in the level [[Honeyhop Galaxy#The Sweetest Silver Stars|The Sweetest Silver Stars]] where she, once again, rules over the Bees. When Mario goes onto her planet she tells him that she is plagued by an itchiness and asks him if he could help her out. He, once again, gets a Bee Mushroom and goes on her back to find the cause of the itching to be one of the [[Silver Star]]s. After getting all five stars, a [[Power Star]] will be formed which he can go get.

While Honey Queen only appears in one galaxy in the game, she is mentioned by several of her bee minions in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]] in the mission [[Honeybloom Galaxy#Bumble Beginnings|Bumble Beginnings]] where they are searching for a Power Star to bring back to their queen. Once Mario finds the star they praise him for finding it while they couldn't.

===''Mario Kart 7''===

Honey Queen makes her first playable appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', which also marks her handheld game debut as well as her first appearance in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].<ref name=Playable characters section on Mario Kart 7 official website>[http://mariokart7.nintendo.com/characters/]. Playable characters section on the Mario Kart 7 official European website. Retrieved 21 January 2015.</ref> In the game, she is an unlockable character and she seems to be quite smaller than she is in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' installments, being able to drive in a regular-sized kart. Honey Queen is a heavy character, and as a result, she receives one of the best speed and weight boosts in the game. To unlock her, the player must win the 150cc [[Banana Cup]]. She also has her own battle course called the [[Honeybee Hive]]. Her signature kart is the [[Bumble V]] and the [[Birthday Girl]], which along with [[Princess Peach]], [[Princess Daisy]], and [[Rosalina]], gets a color change to match their personal style, which makes her Birthday Girl become purple, as does her [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]]. Her racing [[Emblem|symbol]] consists of a small bee with a crown in the place of its head.

Honey Queen also appears in the Japanese exclusive ''Super Mario-Kun'' manga. Her role is the same as in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', although she is very ill.

==Characteristics==

===Physical appearance===

Honey Queen is a very large bee, over 10 times the size of a regular bee, and has a gigantic stinger poking out of the very bottom of her body. On her back she has extremely large wings which reverberate back and forth so quickly they are almost invisible. She has two feet with high heeled shoes on them sticking out of the bottom of her body right above her stinger and two arms with white gloves protruding from her sides. There is always a cape draped over her neck and part of her back which is fastened by a pink jewel right in the middle of her chest. On her head, she wears a brown bonnet which covers her whole head except for her eyes, mouth and nose (the latter of which is purple). She has long eyelashes, black beady eyes with pink eyeshadow, and plump, pink lips. On top of her head, she wears a crown bejeweled with blue gems all around.

===''Super Mario Galaxy'' trading card description===

[[File:QueenBeeTradingCard.PNG|thumb|right|150px]]

''When Queen Bee has a request, it's hard not to oblige. She's quite comfortable in her home in the Honeyhive Galaxy, except for a persistent itch on her back that she just can't seem to scratch. Mario can help when he "powers up" into Bee Mario and crawls around on her back. In the process of helping Queen Bee, Mario finds five Star Chips, which will create a Launch Star that leads him to a Power Star!''
