How do I kill a giant bee? giant bee battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Will not transfer over servers once you tame it.
Flame.
Thrower.
They were bugged so you couldnt find the nests. Turns out they were invisible. The recent patch should have fixed it.
I had found about 30 beehive on The Island map. They were all empty. NO QUEEN BEE WTH.
Can't find them on Lost Island, anyone else?
Not sure if this is just me or not but on console when she summons her soldiers while trying to tame it kicks you off the server
The anti meshing keeps kill8ng my queen tame. I don't know how to stop this
There's a glitch in lost island when you break the hive the queen doesn't come out i could've been having bad lack but idk
I make about 40-50 fishing poles (they're cheap) and fly around with an argy or wyv stealing honey from hives. Honey never goes bad in fishing poles and I take it out as needed. Then just fly away from the worker bees. Gilly is best if you have it.
Beehives can also be found on cliff faces outside the redwood biome, if your not looking to be mauled by a thylacoleo.
The giant worker bees on crystal isles are neutral, even if you walk into the hive. But if you hit anything... BEWARE!
On aberration, their nests can be found at the base of the big brown trees that you cannot harvest
the level of the smaller bees is the same level as the queen bee. so you can just attack it then check the level of the small bees so you know what level the queen bee is and you don’t have to break the hive/nest thing
I looked all over the redwood forest on the island and can't find one bee hive. Please help
How are you supposed to find them?!?
I broke almost every beehive in the redwoods and still haven’t found a single one!
Why are all the bees gone ;(
Sometimes bee hives will spawn inside each other which can result in alot of bees attacking you. If you damage one hive use a spyglass to see if it's only one hive.
You will know which hive has a queen if you hear this buzzy sound “oh no/uh oh” coming from the hive. If you are on Valguero, I suggest either breaking all hives in the Aberration cave or in single player using infinite stats and players only when close. Why for that location? Hives have a habit there of spawning 1-30 hive in a single spot.
Are they there in mobile?if so where?
I'll be honest with you, taming these on scorched earth, Ragnarok and modded maps with scorched engrams and recourses is best, "why?" Because there you have flame arrows and flame throwers, simply shoot the hive with your gun of choice, I recommend anything but a rocket launcher or tek rifle since whenever I try it with those nothing comes out, then burn the drones with a flamethrower, it's most effective, once you've gotten rid of them run up to the Queen, jump, and feed her, that's how it's done, all the drones will tame to you and you should be good, then just obtain bee hive and once you get back to base place the bee hive and demolish it, your bee will come out just fine, if you want honey just place the hive and give it rare flowers, I recommend having camouflage on so they don't attack you, you'll soon get some honey for taming bears and liopluerodons, and making veggie cakes, I believe it's in megalania kibble as well.
IF YOU CANT FIND A HIVE IN THE REDWOODS! My game had zero nest spawns I had to use admin commands to input "admincheat destroywilddinos" will reset wild spawns so be aware if you built somewhere dangerous. Only way I was able to get quetz and bees to spawn. (dedicated PS4 server)
