Tips & Strategies

After destroying the hive use the honey it drops to keep the queen close by adding it to task bar and throwing it on the floor it works guys
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.
It can transfer servers but not in hive form. Hold whatever hotkey allows you to demolish hive. You can then cryo queen. It will transfer as a cryo’d tame. Once you take her out of the pod access her to create the hive for placement on the new server.
Will not transfer over servers once you tame it.
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.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you don’t have a bear
Your probably screwed
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.
After a while trying to get the queen in order to avoid wasting time, I just shoot an arrow on the hive, if nothing happens it means there's no Queen. Move to the next hive. Hope it helps :)
You can also tame the wandering ones but you still have to wear guile
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.
Flame.
Thrower.
They were bugged so you couldnt find the nests. Turns out they were invisible. The recent patch should have fixed it.
Can't find them on Lost Island, anyone else?
2021- tried several times with past tips/videos to tame the queen bee. Such a nightmare lol. Only thing that worked was breaking the hive with my dire bear, eating a bug repellent, then crouching below the queen bee with regular kibble in my 0 slot. Finally worked!!
THESE TECHNICALLY ARENT IN EVERY MAP BECAUSE THEY ARENT ON MOBILE :0
Wear a ghillie suit and use bug spray on your mount and yourself and just crack the hive open with an rpg. Proceed to feed the Queen. Easy tame 👍
To tame bee's now you must lose aggro first then apply repellent and crouch slowly to queen. Simple kibble works best and haz gear can be used in place of ghillie
