'''Bees''', also sometimes known as '''Hornets''', are a recurring enemy and [[Bug]] in the {{LZS|Series}}.

==Characteristics and Weaknesses==

===''A Link to the Past''===

In {{ALttP}}, Bees appear from cut grass and will attack Link once they appear. They can be caught using the [[Bug Net#A Link to the Past|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 [[Golden Bee|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.

===''Link's Awakening''===

In {{LA}}, Bees make a brief appearance in one of the trees in [[Ukuku Prairie]]. They swarm around the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence#Honeycomb|Honeycomb]], which is part of the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence|Trading Sequence]]. When [[Tarin]] knocks down the Bees' hive using the [[Link's Awakening Trading Sequence#Stick|Stick]], a swarm of angry Bees emerge and chase him away.

===''Majora's Mask''===

[[File:MM GiantBee.png|left|50px]]

In {{MM}}, 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 [[Arrow]]s. 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#Majora's Mask|Gerudo Pirates]] in the room.

===''Four Swords Adventures''===

In {{FSA}}, Bees can be found in the [[Lost Woods#Four Swords Adventures|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 {{TP}}, Bees, also known as '''Hylian Hornets''',<ref>{{Cite book|quote=The moaning and groaning doesn't end there either!

They are found at the [[Fishing Hole]], [[Ordon Village]] and within several caverns.

===''Phantom Hourglass''===

In {{PH}}, 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.

In {{ST}}, 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.

In {{SS}}, [[Deku Hornet]]s appear. They can be found in [[Faron Woods#Skyward Sword|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#Skyward Sword|Bug Net]]. Link can obtain [[Treasure#Skyward Sword|Hornet Larvae]] by destroying their hive.

In {{ALBW}}, 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''===

[[File:BotW Bee Model.png|thumb|right|90px|Bees in ''Breath of the Wild'']]

In {{BotW}}, 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 Link's enemies.
