Beehive

Beehives are the places where Bees live. Beehives first appeared in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, where a seemingly tiny Mario actually explored the interior of one in a certain Tree Zone level. Here, the Beehive was filled with Bībīs and related enemies, such as Skeleton Bees, Grubbies, Būichis, and Uneras.

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, some levels take place in beehives made by Zingers. In these levels, the Kongs will have to use the sticky Honey to get around. Another Zinger hive, located in Jungle Japes, can be entered by Tiny Kong via the Mini Monkey technique in Donkey Kong 64.

Beehives later appeared in Yoshi's Story, where, if a Yoshi got close to one, its Bee inhabitants would stop his way. Yoshi had to walk quietly past the Bees so he wouldn't bother them.

Beehives appeared in Paper Mario as homes for Bzzap!s.

Beehives later appeared in Super Mario Sunshine, where the Bees would only get angry if Mario sprayed their Beehives. The Beehive would fall down and the Bees would attack Mario; eating these Bees with Yoshi would grant Mario a Blue Coin or a 1-Up Mushroom.

Beehives finally appeared in Mario Pinball Land. They only appeared in Grassy Greens. Bees would come out of them and Mario would have to defeat all of them plus the other outside enemies to get a star. If Mario was mini, he could go inside the bee hive and there would be a whole mess of bees. If he defeated them all, he would be granted a star.

In Super Mario Galaxy, a galaxy known as the Honeyhive Galaxy possesses numerous beehive-like planetoids where numerous bees live. The galaxy is ruled by Queen Bee, who lives atop a large beehive planetoid, with a garden, a small lake, and a fountain located at its top.

Later, in Mario Kart 7, there was a battle stage called Honeybee Hive which was taken place in a Beehive.
