A small variety of Bees<ref>Prima Bath. ''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Pages 109 and 113.</ref> appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Bees fly around their [[beehive]] in swarms, not letting [[Yoshi]] pass, forming a large hand shape with their swarm. Yoshi has to walk slowly to prevent the Bees from bothering him. If Yoshi hits their hive with an egg, they will attack him. The bigger [[bumblebee]]s appear in the level [[Cloud Cruising]]. They do not try to injure Yoshi, but he will get stung by the bumblebee if he comes in contact. They can be defeated by a simple [[stomp]], or by being eaten.

====''Mario Party 7''====

In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', bees appear in the minigame [[Big Dripper (minigame)|Big Dripper]]. Players must duck down to avoid the swarm while collecting their dripping honey.

In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', [[DK's Stone Statue]] features an [[Event Space]] where bees emerge from their hive with [[coin]]s the player can collect.

 

Bees appear as an obstacle in the minigame [[Hedge Honcho]]. Players must avoid touching them and instead wait for them to buzz off.

[[File:SMS GelatoBeach BlueCoin 29.png|thumb|Bees in Gelato Beach]]

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<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 19.</ref> 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 a [[Blue Coin]] or [[1-Up Mushroom]]. If Mario talks to an NPC while bees are chasing him, he will be pushed in random directions mid-conversation and will not take damage.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====

[[File:M&LBIS Beehoss and Bees Sprites.png|thumb|left|A Beehoss and its Bees in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'']]

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]], Bees appear as enemies alongside the [[Beehoss]] enemy, which had the ability to summon Bees from its honeycomb during battle. Bees are also used as the Beehoss's projectiles in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. In the remake, they use their design from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.

Bees reappear with Beehoss enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. If any bee is counterattacked and defeated on the Beehoss's turn, the remaining bees will come back and attack either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], depending on who counterattacked them, which cannot be avoided.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a [[Beehive]] item appears which, when thrown at an opponent, releases a swarm of bees that attacks them. However, if a player attacks a Beehive directly, the bees go after them instead.

===''Mario + Rabbids'' series===

Bees appears as ambient animals in both ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' and ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''.
