A hidden spot is a bush, one Link can lift without gloves, that the area's list of hidden things ties a bee to. The map of each place shows the spots.

Outdoors, a hidden bee comes out only one time in 2 when its bush is lifted or cut.

In a bottle

Only the Bug Catching Net catches it.

When Link catches it, the game asks whether to keep it in a bottle or set it free. Kept, it goes into the first empty bottle. With no empty bottle, Link has to set it free.

Using the bottle lets it out to fly again, and the bottle is empty once more.

Flying free, it hurts Link when it touches him. Let out of a bottle, it never does.

Let out of a bottle, it flies after the enemies on its floor and hits each one as hard as the Fighter's Sword. After 10 hits it stops, flies off the screen, and is gone. Until then, Link can catch it again.

On the item screen, a bottle holding it is called Bee.
