Dubstep Bees

**Dubstep Bees** are one of many mute factions that roam the surface.

## Appearance

Among the smallest of mute subspecies, these bees have bushy white fuzz from their chest and are predominantly yellow with neon stripes and eyes that light up and change color according to their sonic emissions. They wear black skinny jeans, black boots, black gloves, and fitted black jackets.

## Organization

The bees communicate using a combination of electronic beats, synthetic-sounding musical effects, neon lights, and expressive gestures. Their size makes them advantageous spies despite their loud communication style, and they report directly to Scarlemagne. However, it was revealed that they have a queen who commands this group of bees.

## History

### Burrow Girl

After Kipo washes up on the surface, she explores the area and notices some larger than normal flowers. Kipo looks inside one of the flowers, finding two Dubstep Bees communicating and collecting pollen. The bees see Kipo and become visibly irritated, waving their arms, seemingly telling her to go away.

The bees are later seen observing Kipo while she is riding a mute slug.

### Explosion Berries

After Kipo and Wolf escape the Mod Frogs by boarding a Mega Tortoise, Wolf scales a tree on the Tortoise's shell to acquire some food. A tremor from the Mega Tortoise's footsteps causes Wolf to fall out of the tree and her staff to hit a nearby bee hive. Several bees emerge from the hive and swarm Wolf. Wolf unsuccessfully tries to evade them until Mandu grabs the beehive and uses it to lure them away from her.

Later, when Jamack decides to free Kipo and her friends, the bee once again shows up but Jamack simply swats it away again. Afterwards, The bee heads to Scarlemagne to tell him of what Jamack did and in a fit of rage upon hearing the news, Scarlemagne smashes the bee.

Kipo's mother, Song (having learned to speak Dubstep during her time as a Giant Monkey), speaks to the Queen "mother to mother" and persuades her to spare Kipo. Song is then successful in persuading the bees to help them build a wall of Death Ivy around Timbercat Village, as the bees are the only creatures immune to its poison.
