The Spinning Top is the tool of the Bee Miraculous.
The current owner of the spinning top is Zoé Lee, who uses it as the superhero Vesperia.
Previously, it was used by Gabriel Agreste when he unified the Bee Miraculous with the other Miraculous to become Monarch. And also, it was formerly used by Chloé Bourgeois when she used the Bee Miraculous to become Queen Bee and temporarily by Marinette Dupain-Cheng when she unified the Bee and the Ladybug Miraculouses to become Lady Bee.
Appearance[]
The spinning top changes color depending on whose possession it's in:
- When it is used by Vesperia, the colors of the spinning top are reversed, but with a warmer color of yellow, thus resembling a wasp's stinger. It has a yellow pull string with a yellow ring for her finger.
- When it was used by Queen Bee and Lady Bee, the spinning top was shaped like a teardrop with the point aimed down, resembling a bee's stinger. It was primarily yellow, but had a black dot on the round end, and was wrapped in several diagonally slanted black stripes. It had a black pull string that wrapped around the wielder's finger.
- When Queen Bee was akumatized into Queen Wasp and Miracle Queen, the colors of the spinning top were inverted.
- When she was akumatized into scarlet version of Queen Wasp, the spinning top kept the same appearance, but instead was red.
- When it was used by Monarch, the spinning top had the same color combination as when used by Vesperia, but the color was changed from yellow to purple.
Abilities[]
The wielder can use the top to attack or protect; when thrown, it can be used as a projectile and when spun in a circle very quickly it lights up and creates a yellow shield able to deflect or withstand strong attacks. The spinning top is also used for travel, where the wielder is pulled by it considerably faster than Ladybug's yo-yo, making the wielder look as if they were gliding.[1]

When the wielder throws it, it creates a streak of glowing energy behind it where it lands and spins. The Bee Miraculous' superpower, Venom, involves the top by holding it, with the user hitting the target with the point of the top, immobilizing them.[1] The spinning top can also be used as a communicator, splitting into two pieces in a manner similar to a candlestick phone. When not in use, like Ladybug's yo-yo, Vesperia wears it around her hips, also like the yo-yo, the length of the string of the top could be controlled by the wielder's willpower, has unlimited length and is indestructible.
