Combee (Japanese: ミツハニー Mitsuhoney) is a dual-type Bug/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
Female Combee evolve into Vespiquen starting at level 21. Male Combee are not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Combee is a small insectoid Pokémon that resembles three pieces of orange, hexagonal honeycomb stuck together. Each hexagon has a round yellow face. The bottom-center face is the main thinker of the three, and it is also the only one "bee" to have a full abdomen. The top two hexagons have a single antenna and a wing connected to an orange-colored joint. A female Combee has a red spot on the forehead of its lower face.
Combee can fly with its two wings as long as the top two "bees" co-ordinate their flapping. The trio is known to have spent their time together from birth. Each bee has a different taste in nectar. It is mostly sociable among their own kind. It is generally harmless; it flees when threatened. A Combee will almost always be found collecting honey wherever they can from sunrise to sunset. The gathered honey has multiple purposes, though it's usually consumed. When it is not gathering honey, it sleeps or protects its queen. The former is done by composing a hive along with other Combee, locking together into a "wall" to feel safe in larger numbers. It is very suggestible and will never defy the orders of its queen. When a Vespiquen feels threatened, its subject Combee will not think twice about risking its life to protect the queen, then attacking and even killing the threat in an aggressive manner. It commonly lives in caves and hollow trees of forests and other natural, secluded areas with their queen.
