'''Honey Queen''', originally referred to as '''Queen Bee''' in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', is a [[List of characters|character]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. She is an extremely large bee who is the queen of the [[Honeybee]]s. Honey Queen has a gigantic stinger poking out of the very bottom of her body. She has large wings on her back that reverberate back and forth quickly enough to the point of being nearly invisible. She has two feet with high heeled shoes on them sticking out 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. Honey Queen wears a brown bonnet that 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. Honey Queen speaks using {{wp|Royal we|nosism}} in the first ''Super Mario Galaxy'', referring to herself as "we" and "our".

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:Queen Bee SMG.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Queen Bee is a supporting character in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. She rules over the Honeyhive Galaxy and helps Mario out in missions there. She first appears in the mission [[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]]. In the second mission [[Trouble on the Tower]], if the player manages to go to the back of the main planet (where the hollow trunk to the slide is located), a [[Honeybee]] tells Mario/Luigi that the queen is having a nice rest.

Queen Bee reappears in the mission [[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]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2QueenBee.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
Queen Bee is a supporting character in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. She appears in the [[Honeyhop Galaxy]]. This time she takes her residence on top of the [[Honeyhop Galaxy#Queen Bee Planet|Queen Bee Planet]] in the level [[The Sweetest Silver Stars]] where she, once again, rules over the Honeybees. 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 Queen Bee only appears in one galaxy in the game, she is mentioned by several of her Honeybee minions in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]] in the mission [[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 could not.

Queen Bee also appears in the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga. Her role is the same as in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', although she is very ill.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 7''====
[[File:Honey Bee House.png|thumb|left|Honey Queen battling on [[Honeybee Hive]], in ''Mario Kart 7'']]
Honey Queen is an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Honey Queen is unlocked by winning the 150cc [[Banana Cup]]. She is significantly shrunken down from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its sequel to fit in [[kart]]s. Honey Queen has one of the best speed and weight boosts, due to being a heavyweight character. Honey Queen has her own battle course, the [[Honeybee Hive]], and a signature kart, the [[Bumble V]]. Additionally, her [[Birthday Girl]] and [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] are colored purple, akin to [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] and [[Rosalina]], also using their signature colors for these items. Her [[emblem]] consists of a small bee with a crown in the place of its head.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
While Honey Queen does not appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', her emblem appears on a [[List of badges in Mario Kart Tour|badge]].

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Honey Queen is a {{iw|smashwiki|master spirit}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She runs a Dojo where [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]] can learn the "Big-Bee Style", which increases defense, jump, and weight, but decreases offense and move speed.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Honey Queen appears as one of the randomly obtained assistants in staffing in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. She was added to the game's pool of assistants in the October 4th, 2019 update. Her stage mode effect is to transform an object (mainly [[virus]]es) into a [[skill charger]], where it is 10% at the first level and 50% at the maximum level. Her versus mode effect is to also transform a random object (mainly viruses), though the chance it activates is greater, at 30% at the first level and 70% at the maximum level.

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!''
