Beehive

Beehives are passive enemies found in every Banjo-Kazooie platformer to date. As their name implies, they're not much more than wooden beehives. Present in nearly every world, Beehives bounce up and down innocently and are defenseless against attacks by hungry honey bears. It only takes a single swipe, and defeating one yields three tasty honeycombs, making them more of a free source of energy rather than obstacles.

Although Beehives are defenseless, they are not always harmless. Some Beehives in later worlds of Banjo-Kazooie can be seen with a swarm of bees buzzing around them. They will happily ignore Banjo until the Beehive is destroyed, at which point the enraged insects will chase and sting him relentlessly until he can move safely out of their range. Angry bees cannot be harmed by most attacks and will not leave Banjo alone until he leaves the place that the beehive was destroyed, but can be dispatched by using the Wonderwing. Swarms of bees without hives can also be seen in Click Clock Wood during the summertime. These swarms will attack without any provocation and they have no behive. Since bee swarms take an absolute minimum of two Golden Feathers to kill completely, often the best course of action is simply to avoid them. Bee swarms also appear in Spillerston of Spiller's Harbor in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, and although they move much faster and sting for more damage, they are much easier to kill with the Wonderwing.

Banjo-Tooie Beehives are not protected by any bees, although later worlds contain dangerous Cursed Beehives which act like normal beehives just long enough to lure hungry bears into surprise attacks. But they have a small detail that "normal" beehives don't have. The Cursed Beehives have a small red tie (or something) by the place of their necks

A Beehive appears in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts as an exhibit in Banjoland.
