'''Bees''' are stinging insects that first appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and later several ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games.
==History==
===''Yoshi's Story''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Story Bees.png]]|bg=black}}
A small variety of Bees<ref>Prima Bath. ''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Pages 109 and 113.</ref> appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Bees fly around their [[beehive]] in swarms, not letting [[Yoshi]] pass, forming a large hand shape with their swarm. Yoshi has to walk slowly to prevent the Bees from bothering him. If Yoshi hits their hive with an egg, they will attack him. The bigger [[bumblebee]]s appear in the level [[Cloud Cruising]]. They do not try to injure Yoshi, but he will get stung by the bumblebee if he comes in contact. They can be defeated by a simple [[stomp]], or by being eaten.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Bees make several appearances in the ''Mario Party'' series, playing roles in both the boards and minigames.
 
====''Mario Party 2''====
[[File:Bees MP2.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', beehives appear in the minigame [[Honeycomb Havoc]]. If a player winds up with one, they are attacked by bees and eliminated from the game.


'''Bees''' are insects appearing in a number of [[Mario (series)|''Mario'']] and [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'']] games.
====''Mario Party 7''====
[[File:Bee MP7.gif|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', bees appear in the minigame [[Big Dripper (minigame)|Big Dripper]]. Players must duck down to avoid the swarm while collecting their dripping honey.


==History==
Players pilot bee-like aircraft in the minigame [[Buzzstormer]].
===''Super Mario Land''===
 
An early appearance of Bees is in world 1-2 of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', bees called [[Bunbun]] fly horizontally from right to left, and pause on regular intervals to drop a spear projectile.
====''Mario Party DS''====
{{br}}
In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', [[DK's Stone Statue]] features an [[Event Space]] where bees emerge from their hive with [[coin]]s the player can collect.
===''Super Mario Land 2''===
 
''[[Super Mario Land 2]]'' features an entire bee-themed level, which is the only stage in the game where bee enemies appear. In the [[Tree Zone]] world, there is a level that takes place inside a beehive, which is populated by various bees; the common, homing enemy [[Bee'zerk]], the [[Skeleton Bee]], whom is similar to a [[Bee'zerk]] but has [[Dry Bones]]-like qualities, the [[Thwomp]]-like [[Fat Bee]], as well as bee youth; [[Egghead]], [[Bee Larva]] and [[Grubby]].  
Bees appear as an obstacle in the minigame [[Hedge Honcho]]. Players must avoid touching them and instead wait for them to buzz off.

===''Yoshi's Story''===
====''Mario Party 10''====
[[File:beeart64.jpg|100px|thumb|A '''Bee''' from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.]]
[[File:Beeline Shrine.png|thumb|Bees in ''Mario Party 10'']]
Bees appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where they fly around their [[Beehive]], not letting [[Yoshi]] pass. Yoshi has to walk slowly to prevent the Bees from bothering him. Other larger Bees also appear in ''Yoshi's Story'', as enemies that sting Yoshi if he gets too close.
In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', bees appear in the minigame [[Beeline Shrine]], serving as the main obstacles. Here, they resemble real-world {{wp|Honey bee|honeybee}}s.
 
====''Mario Party Superstars''====
In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', bees reappear in the ''Mario Party 2'' minigame Honeycomb Havoc.

===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', various Beehives can be found in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gelato Beach]], and [[Pianta Village]]. If [[Mario]] gets too close to a [[Beehive]] or knocks one down, the Bees will swarm him, causing damage if he gets stung. Yoshi can eat these Bees for one [[Gold Coin|Coin]] each. The last Bee to be eaten always gives up a [[Blue Coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]].

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', various Beehives can be found in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gelato Beach]], and [[Pianta Village]]. If [[Mario]] gets too close to a [[Beehive]] or knocks one down, the Bees<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 19.</ref> swarm him, causing damage if he gets stung. Yoshi can eat these Bees for one [[Gold Coin|Coin]] each. The last Bee to be eaten always gives a [[Blue Coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]]. If Mario talks to an NPC while bees are chasing him, he will be pushed in random directions mid-conversation and will not take damage.
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SMG Honeyhive Bee.png|thumb|x100px|One of the Bees in [[Honeyhive Galaxy]].]]
Another species of Bees appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. These Bees are different from the ones encountered in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in that they are the same size as Mario, and are capable of conversing with him. These Bees are also friendly to Mario, and serve the [[Queen Bee]]. In addition, the [[Bee Mushroom]] makes its first appearance in this game, which allows Mario to transform into [[Bee Mario]]. In this form, Mario is able to flutter through the air for a brief period of time, and also stick to and climb [[Honeycomb Wall]]s.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
[[File:SMG2 MH Friends.png|thumb|x100px|Many of the passengers, including one of the Bees, that visit [[Starship Mario]].]]
Bees reappear in a few galaxies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', serving the same function that they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Occasionally, they will give the player helpful tips on how best to control Mario after he transforms into Bee Mario. After completing the "[[Honeybloom Galaxy#The Secret Wall Jump|The Secret Wall Jump]]" mission in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], a Bee appears onboard [[Starship Mario]], and tells the player that they can flutter higher in the air if they collect [[coin]]s while hovering as Bee Mario.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====

Bees are also used as the Beehoss's projectiles in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. In the remake, they use their design from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.
 
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:Beehoosdreamteam.png|thumb|A Beehoss as seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]
Bees reappear with Beehoss enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. If any bee is counterattacked and defeated on the Beehoss's turn, the remaining bees will come back and attack either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], depending on who counterattacked them, which cannot be avoided.

Ultimate]]'', a [[Beehive]] item appears which, when thrown at an opponent, releases a swarm of bees that attacks them.

==Characteristics and Traits==
==Gallery==
The Bees of [[Mushroom World]] behave and appear similarly to their [[Earth|Real World]] counterpart, with very little difference between the two, except certain varieties are shown to have a single pair of wings, unlike the two pairs of wings all Real World Bees share. They often reside in [[beehive]]s where they will tend to their queen and produce [[honey]], Bees have also been shown to reside within a species of living beehives known as [[Beehoss]] with whom they share a symbiotic relationship. Bees, and their numerous [[Bee#Other Bee Species|subbranches]] are extremely territorial and will often attack in large numbers, even the more humanoid species are known to be violent.

Bees also have a cosmic counterpart who, unlike their Mushroom World cousins are far more advanced and civilized, having a fully established kingdom which reigns over numerous colonized [[planet]]s throughout the [[Mushroom Universe|universe]]. Much like regular Bees, their duties consist of collecting honey and tending to their noble [[Queen Bee|queen]]. These Bees are anthropomorphic in appearance, with all of them wearing the same attire which consists of a white ruff around their neck and light blue gloves and shoes. Despite their friendly nature they appear to have rather pointy teeth.
