They are first seen in the area with the conveyor belt, where many of them will emerge from the foliage seen in the background. The creatures each carry one of two objects: either a watermelon or a bomb, which they drop near Wario. The watermelons will break upon hitting the ground, while the bombs will be left moving along the conveyor belt, and will quickly explode. Unlike most other enemies in the game, they cannot be touched (and likewise defeated) by Wario.

The watermelons dropped by Honey-Bees serve a purpose within the level.
