A potato bee is a potato variant of the bee, exclusive to the April Fools' joke snapshot 24w14potato. Like other potato mobs, it is not a separate entity: it uses the regular bee's entity, and its potato appearance is enforced by the Potato dimension.

For an overview of all potato mobs, see Potato Mob.

No sound events of its own; reuses the regular bee's sounds (Friendly Creatures category).
