Honey-Bee

A Honey-Bee is an enemy seen in the game Virtual Boy Wario Land, released for the Virtual Boy in 1995. Honey-Bees only appear in Stage 9 of the game, first being seen in the area with the conveyer belt. Along the conveyer belt path, Wario will encounter many Honey-Bees which will emerge from the foliage seen in the background. The creatures each carry one of two objects: either a Bomb or a Watermelon, which they will shorty drop near Wario. The Watermelons will break upon hitting the ground, while the Bombs will be left moving along the conveyer belt, and will quickly explode. Honey-Bees, as decipted by their official artwork, wear a blue hat, red shoes and white gloves. They have a stripy red and black body, with rosy cheeks and purple antennae. Unlike most other enemies in the game, they cannot be touched (and likewise defeated) by Wario.

The Watermelons dropped by Honey-Bees serve a purpose within the level. Wario can carry the Watermelons and drop them on nearby Watermelon Switches, activating a spring which will propel the melon in the air and possibly landing on a moving button in the background. If the button is pressed, a Melon Welt which blocks the path will explode, leaving Wario free to progress.
