Bee (Donkey Kong Jungle Beat)

Bees are a species of bee-like enemies from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. They do not attack Donkey Kong, but if the ape touches them, he will get hurt. If the Kong claps near them, they will shrink and become harmless, flying around spastically. By doing so again, they will be defeated, providing DK with one beat.

Bees mostly appear in groups, and dwell in various levels throughout the game.

Trivia

 * Bee appears as an unused model in Super Mario Galaxy, complete with all of its original animations from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.
 * Choppahs from Super Mario Galaxy 2 may have been inspired by Bees.
