Beetrice

== Description ==
Beetrice is a tower that can be obtained from Honeycomb Heist on hard mode. In later levels, her appearance resembles a literal queen bee. She functions very similarly to Hayes, since she is a summoner tower that summons bees, much as Hayes summons crows.
	
*High speeds at all levels allow bees to gain on enemies and attack them quicker, unlike Hayes.
*Fast summon rate.
*Has an ability that summons additional bees that bypass the summon limit, as well as a Caster Bee. The price stays at 15K mana despite number of times used.
*Can summon different variants of bees with different attributes.
*If used with Maitake and Spectre, bees can deal massive amounts of damage to singular enemies, like bosses.
*High burst damage at all levels allows bees to defeat strong enemies.	
*Bees have generally low health and remain weak even at later levels.
*One of the most expensive towers in the game.
*Ability has a very long cooldown. Ability might also be on MAX after being used 3 times. This may go back to normal after a while.
*Hard to obtain from Honeycomb Heist, requiring good teamwork. 
*Summoned Bees are determined from RNG, all of Beetrice's Bees may have less HP or DMG than shown in her Stats. 
*Lots of Bees may take up memory and lag the game, which can cause damage delays and summoner lag.

==Strategy==
This tower is widely considered heavily outclassed by Hayes and unusable strategically, however this section is still preserved here for consistency purposes. Use this tower at your own risk. 
* It is heavily recommended to use Beetrice exclusively for Boss damage, as the bees work best for singular enemies and heavily struggle to keep up with crowds.
** With that in mind, Beetrice should be placed in spots where it is able to squeeze as much damage as possible, for example where she can cover multiple sections of the path at once.
*** Alternatively, replacing Beetrice after all of her bees die can also be a viable option, especially on long maps such as Cloudy Catastrophe and Canyon Calamity.
* Beetrice's Ability works best on Raid Maps, as the Caster Bee will be able to reach Enemies from the other side of the fences.
==Trivia==
* Beetrice used to have range as a definitive statistic.
**If an enemy was out of Beetrice's range, the bees would stop attacking that enemy.
**As of right now, bees can still only lock on to enemies in her range, but her bees will continue attacking an enemy if they leave the range whilst attacking.
*Beetrice acts extremely similar to the Caster Bee, with them both summoning hoards at fast rates, and the bees will only attack if enemies enter range.
*She is the first of the three towers to have been buffed a day after their release, Yasuke being the second and Keith being the third.
*She is the 3rd most expensive tower in the game to max (not counting Jester due to him being fully RNG), only trailing behind Hayes and Nuki
**Without modifying the price with Discount Dog or Spectre, this tower costs 19,030 (in total) to max her out completely.
*Beetrice/Bee Queen was created with the idea of there being a "Queen" counterpart hero to go with Slime King.
