'''Bee Banjo''' is a recurring transformation in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
'''Bee Banjo''' is transformation that turns Banjo into a bumble bee. It appears in both ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.

In its debut appearance, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Bee Banjo is the transformation of [[Click Clock Wood]]. [[Mumbo Jumbo]] only allows Banjo to become a bee in the spring because Mumbo has various excuses for the other seasons. If Bee Banjo enters another season or reaches certain zones, he transforms back to his usual form. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Bee Banjo is the transformation of [[Cloud Cuckooland]]. Banjo can only reach and enter the [[Zubba's Nest]] as a bee. Bee Banjo can earn a [[Jiggy]] in the nest by completing a mini-game.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Bee Banjo is the transformation of [[Click Clock Wood]], as well as the most expensive one in the game (costing twenty-five [[Mumbo Token]]s to perform). Its value lies in its ability to fly by pressing {{Button|N64|A}} in mid-jump, without requiring the use of [[Red Feathers]] or a [[Flight Pad]].


When flying, the player can press {{Button|N64|A}} to fly higher and hold {{Button|N64|B}} to fly faster. When Bee Banjo enters water, he will automatically fly . This transformation is also immune to the thicket area surrounding [[Mumbo's Skull]] and to the [[Snarebear]]s; however, the transformation is only usable in Spring (as [[Mumbo Jumbo]] has various excuses in the other seasons).

In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Bee Banjo cannot take damage from the [[Snarebear]]s and the thicket area surrounding [[Mumbo's Skull]].
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Bee Banjo is the transformation of [[Cloud Cuckooland]]. In addition to its flight abilities introduced in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', it can now fire stingers at enemies using {{Button|N64|Z}} (with {{Button|N64|C-Up}} to aim). When flying, it is possible to fire at a much faster rate than when standing. Stingers do similar damage to [[Blue Eggs]] and are the only way to destroy the [[Eyeballus Jiggium Plant]]s. The Bee will also leave an animation trail of blue sparks when flying faster.


The Bee is the only way to reach and enter [[The Zubba's Nest]] and complete the mini-game to earn a [[Jiggy]], since only bees are allowed to enter the nest.
In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Bee Banjo can fire stingers at enemies. The player can press {{Button|N64|Z}} to make Bee Banjo fire stingers and aim with {{Button|N64|cup}}. Bee Banjo can fire at a much faster rate than when he is on land. Bee Banjo's stinger projectiles do not cause much damage, although it is the only way for him to defeat the [[Eyeballus Jiggium Plant]]s. While flying at a fast speed, Bee Banjo leaves behind an animation trail of blue sparks.

*The bee is the only ''Banjo-Kazooie'' transformation whose magic can run out within a level.

It also happens to have the most zones where the transformation can be undone (with seven) while every other transformation only has one.

*The bee is the only transformation that cannot go underwater, instead, when it touches water, it automatically starts flying.

*There is a glitch where you go to a [[Warp Cauldron]] under the [[Click Clock Wood]] room and it cancels the detransformation and you could roam around [[Gruntilda's Lair]] as the Bee Transformation.

*With the use of cheats to allow the use of Bee Banjo outside of its boundaries, the transformation can walk on the quicksand in [[Gobi's Valley]] and the murky waters in [[Bubblegloop Swamp]] without being affected by them.

Transformation[edit]

In its debut appearance, Banjo-Kazooie, Bee Banjo is the transformation of Click Clock Wood. Mumbo Jumbo only allows Banjo to become a bee in the spring because Mumbo has various excuses for the other seasons. If Bee Banjo enters another season or reaches certain zones, he transforms back to his usual form. In Banjo-Tooie, Bee Banjo is the transformation of Cloud Cuckooland. Banjo can only reach and enter the Zubba's Nest as a bee. Bee Banjo can earn a Jiggy in the nest by completing a mini-game.

Abilities[edit]

As a bumble bee, Banjo can fly without Red Feathers or a Flight Pad. While Bee Banjo is in midair, the player can make him fly by pressing A Button and hold B Button to make him fly faster. Bee Banjo automatically starts to fly when he hits water.

In Banjo-Kazooie, Bee Banjo cannot take damage from the Snarebears and the thicket area surrounding Mumbo's Skull.

In Banjo-Tooie, Bee Banjo can fire stingers at enemies. The player can press Z Button to make Bee Banjo fire stingers and aim with Camera up Button. Bee Banjo can fire at a much faster rate than when he is on land. Bee Banjo's stinger projectiles do not cause much damage, although it is the only way for him to defeat the Eyeballus Jiggium Plants. While flying at a fast speed, Bee Banjo leaves behind an animation trail of blue sparks.
