A '''Skeleton Bee'''<ref name=ENG>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' instruction booklet|page=13}}</ref> is an [[List of enemies|enemy]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. Skeleton Bees are encountered in the [[Tree Zone]] level [[Honeybees (level)|Honeybees]] only, like with [[Beebee]] and [[Bigbee]]. Skeleton Bees are tougher than their non-skeletal counterparts, as they can come back to life after [[Mario]] defeats them. Doing a [[Spin Jump]] or using a [[Super Star|Star]] is the only way to defeat them permanently. Also like their counterparts, they appear out of the hives in the background and move very slowly. In official artwork, they appear to have a normal, non-skeletal body and carry spears; however, in gameplay, the bottom half is able to be seen through as if they are completely composed of bones and do not carry spears at all. They are undead ancestors of Beebees.<ref name=Daijiten/>
