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 gets hurt. If the Kong claps near them, they shrink and become harmless while flying around erratically. By doing so again, they are defeated, providing DK with one beat.

Bees mostly appear in groups, and can be found 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 have a similar behavior to Bees.
