Origins

Combee's English name comes from a combination of the word "honeycomb", and "bee". It's Japanese name Mitsuhoney comes from the words 蜜蜂 mitsubacchi (honey bee), and the English word honey. The name Combee also sounds similar to "combine," as Combee resembles a combination of three bees.

Trivia

This is the only Pokémon with two different genders where only the female can evolve.
The fact that there are more male Combee than female may be linked to the fact that real Bees only have a single queen and many male workers.
Combee's name may be "Honeycomb," and "Bee," or "Combination," and "Bee," considering how each Combee has a combination of 3 faces.
Combee is the second Pokémon to be based on a bee, the first being Beedrill and third being Combee's evolved form, Vespiquen.
