Bee

Bees, also known as Hornets, are recurring enemies and Bugs in the.

They are usually hidden in trees and occasionally grass, and emerge when Link disturbs their territory, but they are easily defeated with almost any weapon.

A Link to the Past
In, Bees appear from cut grass and will attack Link once they appear. They can be caught using the Bug Catching Net and kept in an empty Bottle. The Bee can then be unleashed to attack nearby enemies and deal a small amount of damage. There is also a variation called the Good Bee, which stays by Link's side for longer. In the Game Boy Advance version of A Link to the Past, the Good Bee is called the Golden Bee. Link can sell it in Kakariko Village, after which he can buy more from there.

In, Bees make a brief appearance in one of the trees in Ukuku Prairie. They swarm around the Honeycomb, which is part of the Trading Sequence. When Tarin knocks down the Bees' hive using the Stick, a swarm of angry Bees emerge and chase him away.

Majora's Mask
In, Giant Bees appear as enemies. They are mostly located in the Southern Swamp, but can also be found in Snowhead and the Pirates' Fortress. They appear from hives and will emerge if they are hit with Arrows. They will attack Link if he gets too close. In the Swamp Spider House, their hives are scattered throughout the ceilings of various rooms, and if destroyed, will sometimes reveal a Gold Skulltula. In Snowhead, they appear around the flowers that bloom once spring returns. In the Pirates' Fortress, Link can shoot at their hives to make them swarm out and scare away all the Gerudo Pirates in the room.

Four Swords Adventures
In, Bees can be found in the Lost Woods. A group of seven Bees will emerge from infested trees should the four Links approach them. After a three-second delay, the Bees will swarm over and damage the Links. The Sword is ineffective against them, but the Bees will gather around a thrown Bomb, probably attracted to the burning fuse, and will perish when it explodes. 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.

Twilight Princess
In, Bees, also known as Hylian Hornets, attack Link to protect their Bee Larvae, which can be used for fishing or to restore health. They are found at the Fishing Hole, Ordon Village, and within several caverns.

Phantom Hourglass
In, Bees are found swarming around hives in a few places, such as Cannon Island. They will buzz around Link suspiciously if he gets close, or swarm around him and attack if he destroys their hive. They can be defeated using most weapons.

Spirit Tracks
In, Bees are very similar to their appearance in Phantom Hourglass. They are harmless until Link disturbs their hive, which will anger them. Angry Bees will chase after Link, however, in this game they cannot be attacked. They will eventually break off their pursuit, or can be avoided entirely if Link enters a house or leaps into deep water.

Skyward Sword
In SS undefined, Deku Hornets appear. They can be found in Faron Woods, Deep Woods and at Bug Heaven. They will attack Link if he comes too close or if he attacks their nest. They can easily be caught by using the Bug Net. Link can obtain Hornet Larvae by destroying their hive. Link can sell Deku Hornets to Strich depending on the mood he is in.

A Link Between Worlds
In, Bees appear identically to their incarnation of A Link to the Past. 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. They can be kept in an empty Bottle with the use of the Bug Net. Golden Bees reappear as well, and are rarely found in grass. A Golden Bee must be given to the Bee Guy to receive the Bee Badge.

Breath of the Wild
In, 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 Weapon. 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.

Phantom Hourglass Manga
While following a path to Eddo's Garage, Link sees a sign that says "This tree is lucky." Ciela suggests the tree might grow honey, so Link kicks the trunk. A beehive falls from the tree, causing the Bees to swarm and attack Link. Ciela tells Link to run into the nearby cave. 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.

Trivia

 * Deku Hornets' nests are one of the few objects that can be grabbed by the Hook Beetle, and dropped onto enemies. However, the Hornets cannot defeat enemies, though they will distract them for a few moments before flying away.
