Template:Species-infobox Buzzbees[1][2] (or Buzz bees[3]), also referred to as simply bees[4], are insect-like enemies that appear in Donkey Kong 3. They are the primary units of the beehives in Stanley's greenhouse. They attack by either throwing darts or swooping down from their hives, trying to steal Stanley's flowers. In the original arcade version, succeeding in this turns them into a Super Bee. One or two will sometimes escort Beespies, also referred to as Guards[5]. After round 12 (9 in the NES version), their appearance is altered.

While unnamed, a Buzzbee first appears in Green House for Game & Watch, poking a cat as the game's alarm.

In Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū, Buzzbees transform into Super Bees when they are sprayed once. Being sprayed a second time defeats them.
