Bee-Having

Bee-Having is the twentieth level in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It is similar to Diggin' It, featuring the same enemies, but this time, the bees attack Crash in swarms. As it is almost impossible to take out an entire swarm with one attack, Crash will have to take advantage of his ability to spin into the magenta patches of soil throughout the level.

Crash can find the Purple Gem here, in one of the more unusual secrets in the series. Players will encounter a staircase fashioned from Nitro Crates, but they do not actually make the player lose a life; instead, they warp the player to a secret route. The secret path is a frustrating construction, a la Un-Bearable, of Hunter Lab Assistants and (real) Nitro Crates galore, greatly simplified by the fact that all these obstacles are completely irrelevant because the gem is located almost right at the start of the route. The crate Clear Gem, meanwhile, is a fairly straightforward affair, unlike Diggin' It.

Trivia

 * This level's title is a pun on the word "behaving".
 * In the beta version of the game, this level's name is misspelled as "Bee Haven".
 * This is one of two levels in this game where, after completing the bonus round, it is possible to die before the game is finished adding the bonus round crates to the crate total.  This causes a glitch where it is possible to get credited with breaking more crates than there are in the level.  The other level in this game where this is possible is Cold Hard Crash.  In Crash 3, this is possible in Sphynxinator and Flaming Passion.
