'''Bees''' are insects appearing in a number of [[Mario (series)|Mario]] and [[Yoshi (series)|Yoshi]] games. They first appeared in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.

==History==

===''Yoshi's Story''===

[[Image:beeart64.jpg|100px|thumb|left|A '''Bee''' from ''Yoshi's Story''.]]

Bees first appeared in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where they fly around their [[Beehive]], not letting [[Yoshi]] pass. Yoshi has to walk slowly to prevent the Bees from bothering him. Other larger Bees also appear in ''Yoshi's Story'', as enemies that sting Yoshi if he gets too close.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', various Beehives can be found in [[Bianco Hills]], [[Gelato Beach]] and [[Pianta Village]]. If [[Mario]] gets too close to a Beehive or knocks one down, the Bees will swarm him, causing damage if he gets stung. [[Yoshi]] can eat these Bees for one [[Gold Coin|Coin]] each. The last Bee to be eaten always gives up a [[Blue Coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]].

===''Super Mario Galaxy''===

Another species of Bees appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. These Bees are different from the ones encountered in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' in that they are the same size as Mario, and are capable of conversing with him. These Bees are also friendly to Mario, and serve the [[Queen Bee]]. In addition, the [[Bee Mushroom]] makes its first appearance in this game, which allows Mario to transform into [[Bee Mario]]. In this form, Mario is able to flutter through the air for a brief period of time, and also stick to and climb [[Honeycomb Wall]]s.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===

Bees reappear in a few galaxies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', serving the same function that they did in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Occasionally, they will give the player helpful tips on how best to control Mario after he transforms into Bee Mario. After completing the "[[Honeybloom Galaxy#The Secret Wall Jump|The Secret Wall Jump]]" mission in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], a Bee appears onboard [[Starship Mario]], and tells the player that they can flutter higher in the air if they collect [[coin]]s while hovering as Bee Mario.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''===

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', Bees would appear as enemies alongside the [[Beehoss]] enemy, which had the ability to summon Bees from its honey comb during battle.

===''Super Mario 3D''===

There is going to be an unnamed Bee enemy in ''[[Super Mario 3D]]'' that chases Mario.

==Characteristics and Traits==

The Bees of [[Mushroom World]] behave and appear similarly to their [[Earth|Real World]] counterpart, with very little difference between the two, except certain varieties are shown to have a single pair of wings, unlike the two pairs of wings all Real World Bees share. They often reside in [[beehive]]s where they will tend to their queen and produce [[honey]], Bees have also been shown to reside within a species of living beehives known as [[Beehoss]] with whom they share a symbiotic relationship. Bees, and their numerous [[Bee#Other Bee Species|subbranches]] are extremely territorial and will often attack in large numbers, even the more humanoid species are known to be violent.

 

Bees also have a cosmic counterpart who, unlike their Mushroom World cousins are far more advanced and civilized, having a fully established kingdom which reigns over numerous colonized [[planet]]s throughout the [[Mushroom Universe|universe]]. Much like regular Bees, their duties consist of collecting honey and tending to their noble [[Queen Bee|queen]]. These Bees are anthropomorphic in appearance, with all of them wearing the same attire which consists of a white ruff around their neck and light blue gloves and shoes. Despite their friendly nature they appear to have rather pointy teeth.
