'''Beespys''' are insect-like enemies that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. They are the primary units of the beehive in [[Stanley]]'s greenhouse. They attack by either throwing darts or swooping down from their hives, trying to steal Stanley's [[flower (Donkey Kong 3)|flower]]s. Succeeding in this turns them into a [[Super Bee]]. After round twelve, they are replaced by more difficult foes known as the [[Buzzbee]]s.

Beespies[1][2] (or Bee spies[3]) are large members of the hive in Donkey Kong 3. Starting from round three, they begin appearing from the hives that Donkey Kong shakes loose. They take two shots of Stanley's Sprayer to defeat; the first shot simply turns them blue (green in the NES version). Even after the second shot, they split into four small stingers that are still harmful to Stanley. Sometimes they are escorted by Buzzbee guards that increase their point value significantly.

Trivia

  • In the NES version manual, the term "Queen Buzzbee" appears at one point to describe Beespy,[4] despite the enemy being identified as Beespy elsewhere in the same manual.[5] Queen Buzzbee occasionally reappears, named separately from Beespy.[6] In Donkey Kong 3-e, the name Queen Buzzbee is named separately[7] and attributed to Beespy's characteristics,[8], but is scored like guarded Beespy,[9], suggesting that Queen Buzzbee may technically be the name of a Beespy with an escort.
