Talk:Bee

Can we move/split this to Honeybee? Look at this screenshot: The name Honeybee is official.
 * Is Honeybee just one character or the official name for the entire race? In any case I definately do agree that the Bees of Mario Galaxy need to have there own page, since they are a specific species just like all the other bee-like enemies mentioned here, who already have their own pages as well as a mention here. This article is still good in my opinion though, but just as one that directs us to a wide range of different species inspired by a real-world creature.--Goomboy 11:58, 3 February 2012 (EST)

I think we should split the smg bees too


 * The thing with the screen shot is that it doesn't say if that's from the entire species or just one bee whose named Honeybee now if it were to say from the Honeybees then yes we would split/rename them

Bee Quote
The Bee Quote is

"Welcome to the Honeyhive Kingdom! Our queen rules this land."

- Bee

Can we change this because it is the same quote as the Honeyhive Galaxy quote. We don't want replica quotes, right?

 * That's true, though the quote is meant to characterize the personality of the species or character. I personally think it's better than any of the "humorous" quotes because they don't really mean anything to the bees; any character could have said that. I suppose this quote will suffice for now, though I will try to look for better options. MarioComix (talk) 22:43, 4 March 2014 (EST)

Thank you for your opinion. I have seen the new quote, and like it.

Split?
Pretty sure the enemy bees and SMG bees should have their own articles, seeing as how they're only identical by generic name. Niiue (talk) 23:57, 6 January 2016 (EST)
 * Quite a few of these Bees (Yoshi's Story, Mario & Luigi, Super Mario Galaxy) could stand to be split, and this article could be used for the generic ones like Super Mario Sunshine and Sm4sh.
 * I don't think the M&L ones deserve a split, since from what I can tell, they aren't separate enemies, just glorified projectiles. Niiue (talk) 12:42, 12 January 2016 (EST)

Split Bee (Yoshi's Story), Bee (Super Mario Sunshine), and Bee (Super Mario Galaxy)
For some reason, this page is essentially just a list of bees in the Mario series. Because of this, the bee NPCs in Super Mario Galaxy and the bee enemies from Yoshi's Story and Super Mario Sunshine are on this page, even though they have nothing to do with each other or generic real-world bees, any more than they have to do with Beezleys or Zingers. Sure, they don't have unique names, but neither do Bees and we have those split.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.

Oppose

 * 1) - The only one I'd consider would be the anthropomorphic SMG Bees, but I really fail to see how the SMS' and YS subjects are anything more than generic, swarming, stinging bees. Bee (Wario Land II) has a specific purpose to turn Wario into Puffy Wario, plus it has a unique Japanese name to help justify the split, but that's not the case here. It's simpler to just keep all the info in one place rather than splitting hairs and content alike, and then risk getting the gutted central article deleted per Generic Subjects.
 * 2) Per Walkazo. I would support if it was only for the Super Mario Galaxy's bees. Create a page for SMG's bees is better and let the others bees here.
 * 3) Well, yeah, this is a list of generic bees because generic subjects don't need separate individual articles for every time they occur. I don't see exactly why they need to be split, especially when you could apply the same logic to Butterfly, Chicken (the Mario Golf and Mario Party variants?), Crow, etc. Rule of thumb: recurring generic species should get an article that lists them; otherwise, they should be named with an identifier if the generic species appear twice. Exceptions apply. Also, why stop at animals? Why not split Barrel, Soccer Ball, and Banana by function and game appearance as well?
 * 4) Per all

Comments
In the Super Mario Galaxy games, the name of this species wasn't "Honeybee"? Implied by the image shown above.-- 12:56, 31 January 2016 (EST)
 * Some users are saying that "well, we don't know if that's an individual or a species name" but I think that is looking way too far into it. 15:44, 31 January 2016 (EST)
 * In addition, the use of the plural instead of the singular form in the letter, and if it was in the singular, it would be easier to whether or not it is a character or the name of the species. But the use of the plural and the supposed character that makes no distinct appearance may assume that this is the name of the species. Maybe It's too much interpretation.-- 15:57, 31 January 2016 (EST)
