Tips & Strategies
I would have to say get a megalaina for this they can climb if it's up on a tree they can climb a tree I did it they are good as well for destroying the hive remember once hive is destroyed cryo your megalaina but use bug repellent then make sure you have rare flower and the honey remember dont let the queen spot you if it does you cant tame it

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.
Easiest way I've found was sit on a bear and send 2 argy or a powerful flyer to attack nest, if they're overwhelmed by the bees whistle passive and clear out the bees. After the hive breaks put on ghillie and disable follow and usually one rare flower gets you a bee
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.
If you are playing on console non-dedicated server. Their is a bug where you’ll see loads of wild Queen bees just floating around. As well as invincible nest. (Or no nests found) I took advantage and tamed every queen bee I saw flying around.
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!!
Two words: Dire Bear
A helpful tip should include a few more words
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.
Use simple kibble to tame I found it a lot easier than using rare flowers
