**Beehives**,(**MM3D**) also known as **Honeycombs**,(**LA**)[*name reference needed*] are recurring items and objects in *The Legend of Zelda* series. Beehives go unnamed in *Ocarina of Time*, *Majora's Mask*, *Twilight Princess*, *Phantom Hourglass*, and *Skyward Sword*.

## Location and Uses

### *Link's Awakening*

The Honeycomb is the sixth item in the game's Trading Quest. It is obtained after giving Tarin the Stick, who can be found near a beehive in Ukuku Prairie after Link retrieves the Sea Lily's Bell from the Key Cavern. Tarin uses the Stick to knock down the beehive for its honey, but is chased away by the angry Bees, leaving behind the Honeycomb that Link instead takes.

The Honeycomb is then traded to the Chef Bear in Animal Village, who needs it for a dish she is preparing, and gives Link her Pineapple in exchange. The Chef Bear also gives useful information after receiving the Honeycomb, telling Link that Marin's song can awake the sleeping Walrus at the entrance to Yarna Desert. This advice is essential to progress through the game, as Marin will only accompany Link to the Animal Village after trading the Honeycomb (she will accompany Link regardless in the switch version).

### *Ocarina of Time*

*This **section** of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.*

Beehives are found in Secret Grottoes and in Zora's Domain in King Zora's Throne Room. When hit with the Hookshot, Fairy Bow, or Boomerang, they will drop a random value of Rupees. However, a Beehive will not break if it is hit with a Fairy Slingshot. Unlike many other games in *The Legend of Zelda* series, Beehives will not release Bees to attack Link when shot.

### *Majora's Mask*

*This **section** of the page is incomplete. You can help Zelda Wiki by expanding it.*

In this game Beehives are usually found in either Secret grottoes, the Swamp spider house, or in the Gerudo Pirate's fortress. (If I missed any locations feel free to add them here.) They can be shot down using the bubbles shot from the deku mask, hookshot, or Hero's bow. They can contain rupees or Giant Bees and in the Swamp spider house some contain Golden Skulltulas.

### *Twilight Princess*

Beehives containing Hylian Hornets can be found in Ordon Village, Kakariko Village Graveyard, and the Fishing Hole. Link first encounters a Beehive in Ordon Village in the tree above Fado’s house. Link can knock down the Beehive either by running into it, using the Slingshot or Hero’s Bow, or by summoning the Hawk. If Link releases the hawk to knock down the Beehive, the hornets will disperse. From the remains of the Beehive, Link can collect ten Bee Larvae in an Empty Bottle. Link can eat Bee Larvae to restore a quarter Heart per larva, or he can use them as Bait for Fishing.

### *Phantom Hourglass*

### *Skyward Sword*

Beehives are most common in Faron Woods and can be hit with the Slingshot to make it fall down and break, producing hornet larva. Some beehives may be located over a gap and cannot be broken to receive Hornet Larvae. In these cases, Link can use an upgraded Beetle to pick up the hive and drop it on solid ground to receive his reward. If a beehive is shot, it will release a swarm of Deku Hornets that will attack Link. They will also attack him if he gets to close to the beehive. This can be circumvented by using the bug net to scoop up the Hornets.
