Bee

Bees are small flying enemies that are spawned by the Queen Bee in the Underground Jungle, and will also appear when destroying a Beehive and occasionally when mining Hive blocks that make up the Bee Hive biomes. They are not to be confused with summoned bees from items such as the Bee Gun, the Bee Keeper, The Bee's Knees, the Beenade, or the Honey Comb – these bees are friendly projectiles. In, Bees will inflict the Poisoned debuff to players.

Tips

 * Since Bees can spawn from Hive blocks, it is recommended that the Bee Hive is entered with caution, even though they have little defense and health. While even the starter Copper Pickaxe is capable of killing them, breaking too many Hives at once can overwhelm a player with low-tier armor.

Trivia

 * They are one of the only enemies, along with the Servant of Cthulhu and Meteor Head, to deal more base damage than their own health.
