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 is the second Pokémon to be based on a bee, the first being Beedrill and third being Combee's evolved form, Vespiquen.
