Bigbees[1] (generically referred to by Nintendo Power as big bee[2]) is a Beebee enemy from the Tree Zone level Honeybees in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. If Mario goes near to the Bigbee, it will drop down and then slowly fly back up to its position upon hitting the floor, very similar to Suu from Super Mario Land. Unlike Suu, they cannot be stomped, similar to Karamenbo and Thwomps. With the exception of a Star, nothing can defeat them.

Fat person who loves to eat
They are friends of the Beebees, but they love to eat and hate to be physically active. They are always lurking on the ceiling, trying to crush intruders who enter the beehive with their heavy weight.
