The Bees will also leave the screen if they manage to attack the Links five times successfully. There are no visible indicators as to which trees are infested.

They appear from cut grass and are at first hostile towards Link, but will become friendly to him and even attack his enemies once he obtains the Bee Badge.

A Golden Bee must be given to the ALBW: to receive the Bee Badge.

In, Courser Bees attack anyone who comes too close to their nest. Link can use this to his advantage in certain situations by stealthily shooting an arrow at a beehive from a distance, causing the disturbed bees to attack and distract his enemies. Their nest contains Courser Bee Honey, which Link can obtain by using a Torch to smoke the Bees out, causing them to depart peacefully. However, he must be careful not to burn the hive itself, as it will disintegrate. He may also obtain it by fighting off the Bees with a BotW:. They will take three hits before giving up and leaving. Courser Bee Honey is used in many sweet recipes, such as Honeyed Fruits and Honey Crepes.

Bees appear as enemies in, where they appear after knocking down a beehive, destroying it, or by cutting down bushes. Once they appear, they move to the beat of music at random, and can fly in any given direction, including diagonally. They can be caught in a CoH: and used to assist CoH:, CoH:, CoH:, and CoH: in battle. Alternatively, Link can use the Ice Rod to turn the bee into an ice block in order to solve puzzles or deal extra damage to enemies by slamming the ice block into them.

Upon releasing a CoH: from an CoH:, they will sport five NaN Hearts and will lose one heart for each time they sting an enemy. Additionally, they can also suffer damage and even die from enemy projectiles and attacks, so caution must be taken on when and where to release them. However, recapturing them in a CoH: will heal the CoH: to full health.

As the Bees repeatedly sting him and his face begins to swell, Link says too many stings may cause him to die. Eddo himself appears and sprays the Bees with bug spray.
