'''Bees''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as stinging insects, mostly commonly in the form of enemies.


Other larger bees also appeared in ''Yoshi's Story'', as annoying enemies that would sting Yoshis if he got too close.
==History==
===''Yoshi's Story''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Story Bees.png]]|bg=black}}
A small variety of Bees<ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|isbn=0-7615-2103-8|date=April 7, 1999|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|page=109 and 113}}</ref> appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and fly around their [[beehive]] in swarms. They prevent [[Yoshi]] from passing, forming a large hand shape with their swarm, so Yoshi has to walk slowly to prevent the Bees from bothering him. Bees attack Yoshi if he throws an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at their hive. 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.

Bees also appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Various beehives could be found in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gelato Beach]], and [[Pianta Village]]. If [[Mario]] got too close to a beehive, or knocked one down, the bees would swarm him, causing damage if he gets stung. [[Yoshi]] could eat these bees for one [[Gold Coin|Coin]] each. The last Bee to be eaten always gave up a [[Blue Coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]].
===''Mario Party'' series===
Bees in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] appear on boards and in [[minigame]]s alike. In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', beehives appear in the minigame [[Honeycomb Havoc]], where if a player winds up with one, they are attacked by bees and eliminated from the game. Bees in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' appear in [[Big Dripper (minigame)|Big Dripper]], where players must duck down to avoid the swarm while collecting their dripping honey. Additionally, players pilot bee-like aircraft in the minigame [[Buzzstormer]]. Bees in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' appear as part of an [[Event Space]] in [[DK's Stone Statue]], where they emerge from their hive with [[coin]]s that the player can collect; additionally, Bees in the minigame [[Hedge Honcho]] sting players if touched with a stylus, so the player has to wait for them to buzz off. Bees in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' resemble {{wp|Honey bee|honeybee}}s and are the main obstacles of the minigame [[Beeline Shrine]].


Another species of Bee appears in [[Super Mario Galaxy]]. These bees are friendly to [[Mario]] and work for the [[Queen Bee]].
===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
Bees<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=19|date=September 3, 2002|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref> in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' are part of various [[Beehive]]s in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gelato Beach]], and [[Pianta Village]], and if [[Mario]] gets too close to a [[Beehive]] or knocks one down, the Bees swarm him, causing damage if he gets stung. A Bee can release a [[Gold Coin|Coin]] if eaten by Yoshi, though the last Bee of a Beehive always releases either a [[Blue Coin]] or a [[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.

[[File:M&LBIS Beehoss and Bees Sprites.png|thumb|left|A Beehoss and its Bees in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'']]
Bees in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]] are encountered as enemies alongside another type of enemy, [[Beehoss]], which can summon Bees from its honeycomb during battle. Bees in the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode are used as the Beehoss's projectiles. In the remake, they use their design from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.


*[[Buzzer]]
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
*[[Bzzap!]]
Bees in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' are encountered alongside Beehoss once more, and if any bee is counterattacked and defeated on the Beehoss's turn, the remaining bees will return to perform an unavoidable attack on either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], depending on who counterattacked them.
