Beehosses are living honeycomb enemies in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
Physical description[]
Beehosses are beehive-shaped creatures with red eyes, a branch-like body, a single green leaf, roots meant to be their legs and a neutral expression. In Dream Team, they now have spikes and harder shells around their honeycomb heads, allowing them to block jump attacks, and their eyes are red.

Attacks[]
All attack names are unofficial.
- Bee Swarm: The Beehoss will fire bees from itself in order to hit Mario or Luigi. Mario and Luigi must watch the leaf: if it's high, then the bees will go above the bros requiring no dodge. However, if the leaf is point low, then they must jump right as the bees are about to attack them. If Mario or Luigi lands on top of the bees, the bees will get angry and attack one of them. This counterattack cannot be blocked.
- Group Strike: Beehosses can send all of their bees at one of the Bros., who must jump over the swarm. The bees will then head to the background, their group reshaping itself to form letters. If the letter is an M, W, capital Sigma, or the backwards variant of the lattermost, Mario is the target. If the letter is an L, capital Gamma, or the backwards variant of either letter, Luigi is the target. The bees may do this several times, signalling multiple attacks. They then perform a number of swarm strikes akin to the number of letters in the same order. If a Bro. stomps any bees, the survivors will immediately sting the culprit.
- Double Group: Beehosses may send out two be groups, with one in line with Mario and one in line with Luigi. The group with more bees will charge the Bro. in line with it first, followed by the other charging with the Bro. aligned with it. This must be avoided by jumping. As with the first two attacks, the bees will sting any Bro. who stomps them.
- Chicken Out: If all of their bees are destroyed, Beehosses will flee, presumably to generate more.
Tips[]
Beehosses can get pretty annoying in battle due to their aggressive nature and in Dream Team they become even more difficult with the addition of spikes on their head. Using Bros. Attacks such as Bomb Derby are effective against these enemies.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[]
Beehosses now have new features; angry expression, spikes and harder shells.

Behind the scenes[]
Etymology[]
"Beehoss" is derived from "bee house."
Nomenclature[]
In Japanese, Beehosses are called "Bī Hausu" (a trasliteration of "bee house;" written びい はうす in Hiragana and ビーハウス in Katakana). In the Spanish dub, they are called "Abejotello," a masculine noun derived from "abeja" (bee). Their Portuguese name, Colmeius, comes from Colmeia ("beehive") and is also treated as masculine. Italian calls them "Alvemostro," a masculine noun derived from alveare ("beehive") and monstro ("monster"). In French, their name is "Mobiruche" (from mobile ("mobile," "movable") and ruche ("hive")) in Bowser's Inside Story and "Horruche" (from horreur ("horror") and ruche ("hive")); both are treated as feminine nouns. Their Russian name is Ulejman (written Улейман and derived from ulej ("hive;" written улей) and the English word "man"). In German, they care called "Wabling," which comes from wabe ("honeycomb") and the diminutive suffix -ling and is masculine.
