Sprite of a Power Bee from Yoshi's Story

A Power Bee[1] is an ally in Yoshi's Story. Despite their name, Power Bees more closely resemble butterflies than actual bees as is evident by the Japanese name. As a Power Bee is not an enemy, touching it does not hurt the Yoshis. Yoshis can eat Power Bees to refill health. They are helpful when a Yoshi's energy is low, and they can be found in a boss fight against Inviso or Cloudjin, as well as in several other levels.
