The Bean Bug is a passive mob that can randomly appear in any Field (except the Ant Field), be spawned through the Wind Shrine by donating 50-100 eggs or be manually spawned by Onett. They often spawn in one field in groups of 3 or more, and later split up.
When they spawn, they spit 1-3 Jelly Beans tokens in volleys over the field which any player can pick up, or can also spit out a Standing Bean Bug Sticker very rarely. Then they hop to another location on the field and spit more. The tokens only last for a few seconds, much less time than the tokens spawned from regular Jelly Beans. After 7-15 volleys of Jelly Beans, the Bean Bugs hop to other fields to spit Jelly Beans. This process repeats until they despawn after a while.
Bean Bugs can aid the player in collecting Pollen/Honey, as Jelly Bean tokens can boost the player’s pollen collection, Critical Chance, Instant Conversion, and other stats.
The beans were used for the limited time Sun Bear questline to receive 250 Tickets and for the limited 2019 Bee Bear questlines. They are also used for Spirit Bear's questline, and also used for Bee Bear's questline. Sun Bear and Bee Bear's Bean Bug questlines could only be received as a part of an event.
Players are unable to damage it, nor can it damage players, hence why it is a passive mob.

Trivia[]
- Bean Bugs, Frogs, Fireflies, Chicks, Spotted Chicks, and Hostage Chicks are the only passive mobs in the game, as they cannot deal damage to players.
- They were first introduced in the 9/28/2019 Update when Sun Bear accidentally released the Bean Bugs.
- Sometimes, they can get stuck in various areas, including the Mushroom Field, Cactus Field, Bamboo Field, Basic Bee Gate, the Vicious Bee Egg Claim and fields that have solid object(s) while jumping. If they get stuck, they can’t change course and will remain useless until de-spawning. Onett joked about this being "natural selection".
- These and fireflies are the only passive mobs that are able to produce tokens.
- This, Stick Bug, Snowbears and Mechsquitos are the only mobs being able to spawn a debuff. Stick Bug can spawn the Splinter Trap, Snowbear can Freeze with its Snowballs, Mechsquitos can apply Mechsquito Toxin by firing at the player, and Bean Bugs can spawn spoiled Jelly Beans.
- As confirmed by Bee Bear, Bean Bugs have small brains and cannot understand the concept of naughty or nice.
- At the end of Beesmas 2020, Onett spawned them as "The Bean Bug Brigade".
- They then returned at the end of Beesmas 2021 as they "Awoke from Hibernation".
- Bean Bugs are the first mob that use jumping to move around, with frogs being the second.
- While technically Chicks jump when they go inside their egg, this is the only time they do so.
