Tips & Strategies
Never look for honey on gen2 just go to another map trust me
Add honey to fishing rods to store honey. Rods are cheap to craft and allow you to store honey without spoilage and no need for fridges.
Beehives, once containing rare flowers, will decay without rare flowers.
Simple queen bee trap: build a 2x2x2 box around the beehive where the beehive is positioned against the ceiling. Use bug repellant and a sword to start swinging at the wild beehive, damaging it and killing bee drones at the same time. Once destroyed you can easily tame the queen bee. She doesnt like traps when she leaves the destroyed beehive is on the same level as you. As this is a 2x2x2 box, you're 1 wall lower then her which allow for easy taming.
Bee cave on crystal isles with anky works rlly well
I assume this will work anywhere. But in the red woods I like to use pillars to build up until even with the beehive, then put a ceiling at the top, then attach ladders from that ceiling down to the ground so I can climb up to the top and collect the honey. If I don’t have a base nearby I make a bed or a sleeping bag so if the bees kill me in the process so I can just respawn nearby, collect the honey from my corpse and be on my merry way. If I’m able to, I also add ramps so that anyone with a bear will still be able to get up there to collect honey with them.
A good way to get giant bee honey is to use a Ghille suit or dire bear and grab the honey, but what you can do is tame the queen and make bee hives for extra so you don’t have to look for more (for pc and computer you can use the aggression outlines)
on ark mobile, just place a beehive (or 2) on a redwood tree then forget about it (thats where all the bug sounds have been coming from) and when you come back you will have 50+ honey
Take a good wooden club to to the honey cave on crystal Isles and whwck away to get organic polymer or hit with any to get honey it plso op
Use to tame bears sloths and (sorta like the mosa) whales
What happens if all your wild Bees disappear and there is no way to get honey!?? I been dealing with this for a while now...playing it on single player on the ps4 :(
crystal isles has a bee cave around 32, 32 on the map. bring a frog that can one hit kill the bees and they drop honey (but not cementing paste) just watch out for direbears
Fishing rods keep the honey from spoiling completely! This is good for taming Lyploros
you can use a chainsaw on the beehives in crystal isles for massive amounts of organic poly and honey!!
Found in bog on genises when you ride on a bloodstalker spider vision will also highlight beehives. Recommend you bring a cryopoded dire bear for either getting honey or destroying the hive to tame it.
Find the gaint bee hive kill the bees the you can get honey
for mobile player u should put rare flower into the bee hive
I’m pretty well set up, but just go In the honey cave on CI and hit a bee hive with a chain saw, let the ones in the area come, swat them down with the sword. I havnt used ghillie or bug repellent since I first went in there and realized I wouldn’t need it. I use a chain saw and black weight on a 2x server getting halfway through
Wear a ghille suit of you don't want to use big repellent.
Just tame a queen .flowers , bug spray shotgun with 100 amno and a bear kill the hive kill the drone bees crouch behind the queen and give flowers from last slot in hot bar 3 flowers for last be tamed
Use an anky in the bee cave on crystal isles. Ez honey but should have something else for bees and bears.
I take my bear and dog every god damn bee
