'''Queen B.''' is the queen of the [[Zinger]]s (and a Zinger herself). She is the guardian of [[Vine Valley]] and the third boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. In battle, Queen B. attempts to stab [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong]] with her massive stinger. Since she has spikes on her back, Queen B. cannot be stomped. To defeat this large Zinger, Donkey or Diddy had to throw [[Barrel]]s at the her. Once hit, Queen B. would be damaged. She would then go on a rampage, turning red in the process. During this phase, Queen B. was invulnerable and the Kong heroes simply had to avoid her attacks. In this stage, Queen B. will start moving up and down. As the boss progresses, the queen will start moving at a faster pace. After, calming down, Donkey or Diddy could throw another Barrel at her, starting the process over. After five Barrel hits, Queen B. was defeated. She has not been seen since.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of ''Donkey Kong Country'', Queen B. is protected by normal Zingers, each time flying in different formations around her. These Zingers must be destroyed before Queen B. can be attacked.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Queen B., while red, is protected by normal Zingers, which have to be defeated before Queen B. can be attacked. Queen B. always moves in a wavy motion, regardless of her coloration and vulnerability, but she only directly follows after the Kongs while yellow. Additionally, in the dialogue from [[Cranky Kong]] after Queen B.'s defeat, he incorrectly uses the pronoun "him" to describe Queen B.

Queen B. is a large Zinger and the queen of the species. She is the third boss of Donkey Kong Country, fought at the end of Vine Valley in Bumble B. Rumble. Here, Queen B. tries to sting Donkey or Diddy Kong with her massive stinger. Because she has spikes on her back, Queen B. cannot be stomped. Queen B. can be attacked by having a barrel thrown at her, causing her to turn red and fly around the level. During this phase, Queen B. is invulnerable, and she moves toward the Kongs in a wave-like motion. After a while, Queen B. turns back to yellow, and the Kongs can throw another barrel at her. Each time she is hit, Queen B. begins to move around more quickly until eventually being defeated after five hits.

In the Game Boy Advance version, Queen B., while red, is protected by normal Zingers, which have to be defeated before Queen B. can be attacked. Queen B. always moves in a wavy motion, regardless of her coloration and vulnerability, but she only directly follows after the Kongs while yellow. Additionally, in the dialogue from Cranky Kong after Queen B.'s defeat, he incorrectly uses the pronoun "him" to describe Queen B.

A similar boss appears in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, King Zing, who is the king of the Zingers.
