Bee

Bees are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Bees are usually found in bushes. When Link destroys a bush, an angered bee will appear and attack him. Some lone trees found in Hyrule contain unseen beehives; when Link dashes into one of trees with the Pegasus Boots, an entire swarm of bees appears. Bees can be defeated with the sword; but since bees are relatively hard to hit due to their size, Spin Attacks prove more effective.

Bees can be caught and stored in bottles by using the Bug-Catching Net. Once released from the bottle, a bee will attack enemies on Link's behalf; however, it will fly away after a while if Link does not catch it again in time. If Link sprinkles a bee with Magic Powder, it will turn into a fairy. A unique bee, known as the Good Bee, can attack enemies indefinitely and can be found in certain areas.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
A group of Bees appears surrounding a Honeycomb in Ukuku Prairie. During the trading quest for the Magnifying Lens, Link encounters Tarin, who is attempting to knock down the Honeycomb. If Link gives Tarin the Stick, he will successfully knock down the Honeycomb; however, the threatened Bees will attack Tarin, causing him to run away, leaving Link free to pick up the Honeycomb. Talon may be encountered back in his home in Mabe Village, having suffered several bee stings.

The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
When the Links approach specific trees, several Bees will emerge and attack the heroes. The bees cannot be hit by the Sword and can be damaged only by Bombs.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Bees appear on Cannon Island and Dee Ess Island. Bees come out only on Dee Ess Island if Link digs in a hole that has a beehive in it.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Bees appear as enemies. They chase Link if he hits the tree in which their hive is situated. Their hive often holds Bee Larvae.
