A bumblebee,[1] or bee,[2], is an enemy that appears in Yoshi's Story. Bumblebees appear at the end of level 3-1, Cloud Cruising, where a large swarm of them starts flying in a straight line from both sides of the screen while a Yoshi rides a dragon. They can be defeated by being jumped on or eaten.
