They have hairy sides of the elytra like their relatives, and the upper sides of the elytra are usually yellow with prominent black blotches which form incomplete bands. This, and the fact that seen from the side they resemble a hairy plump bee, has given them their common name.

gollark: If the chest is adjacent to your turtle then one of those directions will be the right one though I don't think you can conveniently determine which.
gollark: Okay. You can pullItems from north/east/west/south (it uses absolute directions I think; maybe check getTransferLocations).
gollark: If it isn't adjacent, do the second thing.
gollark: You didn't specify where the chest was exactly.
gollark: I mean that if the chest is adjacent you can push/pull from it using north/east/whatever.
