Buzzies[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. They are encountered in later levels of Juicy Jungle, namely Jelly Jamboree and Beehive Brawl, as well as in Spinning Spines. These bees have large, stubby bodies that end with a short sting that they use to attack. They fly around slowly and in a staggered manner. When the Kongs get near a Buzzy, it starts pursuing them, attempting to harm them. Some Buzzies are passive. The Kongs can defeat a Buzzy by jumping on it, using a Roll Attack, or throwing a barrel.
In Beehive Brawl, some Buzzies appear from out of their beehive houses to attack the Kongs, and arrays of larger Buzzies march over areas with wide chasms, carrying fruit slices covered with climbing grass. These provide transport over the chasms and help the Kongs go through the level. Due to the added weight, Buzzies steadily descend, unless the Kongs pound their fruit slices, which forces them to ascend.
The game features an unlockable piece of concept artwork depicting a swarm of small bee-like creatures very similar to Buzzies. The image can be accessed in the Extras menu after the player collects all five Puzzle Pieces in Bopopolis. These bees are shown among other creatures that are/would have been found in Autumn Heights.
