Honeycomb

"Mmmm... I'm sticky tasty Honey Energy"

- A Honeycomb

Honeycombs are 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) and Beehives.

Banjo and Kazooie's maximum honeycomb capacity can increase. Extra Honeycomb Pieces can be collected to increase Honeycomb capacity, and the final puzzle in Banjo-Kazooie causes 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 split up.

Honeycombs appear in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts at the end in Lord of Games' challenge in Spiral Mountain as fetch items.
