Honeycomb

"Mmmm... I'm sticky tasty honey energy!"

- A Honeycomb

A Honeycomb is a unit of health used in the Banjo-Kazooie series as the player's life bar. Usually, being hurt by an enemy or damaging terrain causes Banjo and/or Kazooie to lose a Honeycomb (more can be lost at once from certain enemies and fall damage). Honeycombs can be replenished by collecting some from fallen enemies (usually one at a time), Beehives, or just in random areas.

Banjo and Kazooie's maximum honeycomb capacity can increase. Extra Honeycomb Pieces can be collected to increase the duo's honeycomb capacity, and the final puzzle in Banjo-Kazooie allows Banjo and Kazooie's energy bar to double in size. Different transformations in Banjo-Tooie also have differently-sized energy bars, as do Banjo and Kazooie when they split-up.

Honeycombs appear in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts at the end in L.O.G.'s challenge in Spiral Mountain as fetch items.

Trivia

 * The fact of the energy be a Honeycomb is because Banjo is a honey bear, and bears like honey.
 * Honeycombs are also the means of getting Items in Banjo-Pilot. They must be driven through, and depending on the place of the player, they get an Item.
