Added DiffLines:

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'': Beehives with hexagonal cells appear in certain worlds. Mario can knock them down by spraying water at them, though the bees will retaliate by attacking him if this happens. Yoshi can eat the bees one by one, and doing so yields a Blue Coin.
** ''VideoGame/MarioParty2'': The minigame Honeycomb Havoc has the chatracters hit a dice to grab fruits and coins from a slope installed in front of a tree. However, some stock beehives slipped in among the items, and whoever is unlucky enough to have one fall above them will need to flee away from the scene to dodge the bees, losing the minigame; the minigame continues as the remaining characters hit the dice while strategically trying to avoid getting the next beehive. The minigame ends when only one player remains. It makes a return in ''VideoGame/MarioPartyTheTop100'' and ''VideoGame/MarioPartySuperstars''.

* In ''VideoGame/{{APICO}}'', both the beehives you can build and the ones you find in the wild look like wasp nests.

Another aspect of the artistic license is that wasp nests are a greyish, light-brown colour, whereas fictional beehives seem to be as [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience golden as the honey stored inside]]. Additionally, honey is often depicted as being stored in the hive like water in a jug, instead of small drops being packed inside individual cells in a honeycomb -- as such, characters may be able to simply pour large quantities of honey directly out of the hive, or drink from it like they would from a bottle. Honey drops may also fall from the entrance just like a water drop from a dripping tap. A bees' honeycomb may be golden, but won't actually leak.

leak unless you’re physically touching it.

Whenever a beehive appears either in cartoon or a video game -- or even in live-action works sometimes -- it's always guaranteed to look a bit like a [[ArtisticLicenseBiology wasp nest]], usually the type [[WeAllLiveInAmerica most Americans are more familiar with]]: that of a bald-faced hornet. However, these nests are grey and flaky, which can be hard to animate and just plain unsuitable for a story. As such, Stock Hives may actually look more like [[MixAndMatchCritters a mix of different bee and wasp species' hives]].
