The '''Beehive''' ({{ja|ハチの巣|Hachi no Su}}, ''Beehive'') is an [[item]] from the {{uv|Animal Crossing}} series in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It functions as a throwable item that unleashes a swarm to deal continuous damage to a target, similarly to the [[Cucco]] item.

The beehive (known as a wasp nest starting with ''{{s|nookipedia|New Horizons}}'') originates from the {{uv|Animal Crossing}} games, and it is present in every installment of the series. Beehives occasionally fall out of oak and cedar {{s|nookipedia|trees}} when shaken. When one falls out, it hits the ground and a swarm of bees (called wasps in ''New Horizons'') chase the [[Villager]]. If the Villager does not quickly go inside a building or catch a bee with a net, he or she gets stung, and given a swollen eye that must either be treated with medicine or heals on its own when the player quits the game and starts again in games prior to ''New Horizons'', or wait until the day resets at 5:00 AM in ''New Horizons''. This situation is similar to the behavior of real {{iw|wikipedia|bee}}s, who will also emerge as a swarm from their damaged {{iw|wikipedia|beehive}} and attack and sting the threat to said hive. In addition, should the Villager get attacked again by another beehive before being treated for the first attack, they'll pass out and spawn in front of their house. It wasn't until ''{{s|nookipedia|New Leaf}}'' that the player was able to pick up a beehive afterwards, as they simply disappeared in previous installments. In ''New Horizons'', it's possible to use a beehive (wasp nest) for {{s|nookipedia|DIY}} projects including crafting medicine to treat the sting.

Coincidentally, beehives also exist in the {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} series and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', with similar behaviour.

==Overview==

[[File:BeehiveWiiU.png|thumb|{{SSB4|Donkey Kong}} being stung by bees.]]

The beehive is an item that can be attacked, or picked up and thrown. Upon being hit or being thrown and hitting an opponent or terrain, a swarm of bees will emerge from it which will target a single player, following them around the stage; the beehive itself disappears after the bees emerge. There is also a 1/4 chance that a beehive will naturally break open instead of disappearing.  

 

 

While often simply a nuisance, the knockback caused by the bees can interrupt attacks and movement options of the victim, making them easier to hit, especially in ''Ultimate'' where the hitlag lasts a very long time. However, this can be beneficial to recovery, as the bees' attacks can flinch the player out of [[helplessness]] repeatedly; a notable example comes from {{SSB4|Little Mac}}, who can repeatedly use [[Rising Uppercut]] and significantly improve his recovery.

The Beehive trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}.

|desc-pal=Bees don't like it when people destroy their home, so if you break a beehive, they'll come out looking for revenge. Even if you innocently had the beehive thrown at you, you'll be the target. You can dodge all you want, but they'll probably get you in the end, and their stings'll do a LOT of damage.
