Not to be confused with Bee, a vanilla enemy.

The Bee is a Pre-Hardmode accessory that is dropped by Queen Bee. When the player is at full health, damage dealt by the player will be increased by half of their Damage Reduction, excluding separated damage reduction boosts. Additionally, taking a hit while at full health will have the incoming damage be halved, with a 10-second cooldown.

Trivia

• This accessory is a reference to the item of the same name from Borderlands 2.
• The accessory's design is based off of Queen Sectonia, the bee-themed main antagonist of Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
• The damage-halving effect when at full health is a reference to the "Multiscale" ability from the Pokémon game series.
