Honeybee Hive (known as Honeybee House in the British English version) is a battle course in Mario Kart 7. It takes place in a bee hive with multiple broad areas enclosed with honey walls. There are honey drops on the floor, which slow down drivers if they run over them. There are a couple of circular small flowerbeds and bushes as well as Item Boxes scattered around the stage. On the center of the honey hive, there is a pipe that shoots strong air out, making the drivers fly to a different part of the hive. The stage also has a few dead ends, and is the only new battle course in the game where it is possible to drive off the stage. The place has a swarm of Stingbies that fly around which spin drivers out on contact. This course's music shares its melody with that of Wuhu Town and Sherbet Rink, but has different instrumentation.
