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 Bee'zerks and related enemies, such as Skeleton Bees, Grubbies, Fat Bees, and Bee Larvae.

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.

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 finally 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 actually grant the plumber a Blue Coin or a 1-Up Mushroom.

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.
