Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
If you want to tame one, the easiest way is to get a dire bear and break the nest, because they are immune to bees. Use it to break the nest, then when the nest beaks, make sure you have full ghille armor and bug repellent, and tame it with simple kibble. You can then go to the bee and press the 'aquire nest' button, and it will give you a bees nest. You can place this on any natural ground, but no human made floors. Put rare flowers into it, and it will produce giant bee honey over time. Rare flowers can be harvested from plants in the swamps across the island, but beware of the creatures that dwell there. When you go into your bees nest to gather honey, you will get the bee effect and start taking damadge, even though it is your own bees nest.
Giant bees are a staple of cooking kibble or foods in ark because they produce honey, so here’s a guide to help you tame one, so you can efficiently produce it
1. Giant queen bees are found in beehives, which are most common in redwood forests. Look for them on the trunks of the trees, some will have a beehive a short way up. To get a queen be to spawn you need to break the nest (NOTE: not all nests spawn a queen when broken) which is best done with a rocket launcher, or a creature. The nest will release bees when attacked which can dismount you so be careful about killing them and killing aggressive creatures beforehand.
2. Once the queen bee spawns it will wander around the forest. I recommend running away to let it deaggro (do not go out of render or it could despawn) to tame it you must feed it rare flowers or simple kibble, whichever you can get easier works, from the last slot on your hotbar. 3. You can either run in full speed and feed it before it notices you, or use ghille and bug repellant to sneak up and feed it. The second way is easier but uses more resources.
Happy taming!
Will not transfer over servers once you tame it.
On the north east section of the island map, right near where the snow zone and tropic zones meet, there is a small natural bay. If you go inland from there you should see a small pathway that stays lower than the rest of the area. Inside that area are two spawns for giant bees that never seem to make a hive so you can easily tame them without the struggle of the hive.
Passive tame. Use rare flowers. Take about 4-5. Use full ghille and bug spray. Even then the bees she summon may attack. She has a very bad view distance compared to other Dino's so stay close.
To avoid wasting your time, if no bees come out when you attack or take honey, it means that there is no queen in that hive.
Apparently, you can tame free-roaming queens on the Switch! Simply don a ghillie suit and bug repellent, run up to her, and quickly give her a kibble. Just don’t aggro the drones!

The Giant Bee builds its nest at the tops of Redwood trees. While it's not an easy task, a nest can be broken open and the queen can be tamed. Once tamed, she will generate honey as well as lay drone eggs.
