Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
The bee isn't tamable while she's aggro'd onto anything so keep your tames well away or cryo them. For best results, sprint up and spam the feed key. Also clear the surrounding area before going for the hive, or you know that random raptor is ALWAYS gonna f you up.
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.
ALWAYS break the hive with ranged attacks. If you choose to melee it,drones will continuously spawn from it infinitely, and they will repair the hive, so best to shoot it down and kill all the drones before attempting a tame. Oh, and the queen will spawn more drones periodically, so bee careful.
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.
Flame.
Thrower.
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.
Use Bug Repellent AFTER you break the hive with the Bear. No one ever said this and I’ve been taking aggro for years lol. It doesn’t work if it’s already applied before you break hive.
If you're playing on ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, they are able to be tamed with 1 raw prime meat, so you don't have to waste your rare flowers or simple kibble.
