What are tips for giant bee? Tips and strategies for giant bee in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Not all hives contain bees! Check them with a rifle bullet or two before breaking it and wasting your ammo.
If you want many bees,go in redwoods.
I'm not sure if it works every time but I got the queen over open water and it auto tamed, I was prepared with rare flowers but didn't use any at all. Of course my Dimorphadon did the heavy lifting on the drones which allowed me to follow the queen.
After taming cryopod the bee without picking it up. Once you pick it up you won't be able to transfer it as a bee hive. Cryopod the bee to ensure transfer.
Taming with anything other then kibble is just a bad idea
Is this like the only creature that spawns in ALL maps
Ive looked through 90% of dododex and this is the only one i saw that spawns on all maps
Just tried to tame a bee and there was no prompt to tame i had rare flower and kibble and still no prompt are bees no longer tameable
A lot of people have trouble finding these on genesis so here’s the place. Travel to the bog around cords 75 75. You will see trees that go so high that they are higher than the clouds. Above the clouds on these trees you can find hives. Some on the sides of the trees or some on the branches. Best thing to do is find one on a brand so you have a place to stand. Build two foundations side by side underneath the hive. Walls on each side two high and on the front two doors. Box it in and out Ramos down from the doors to get up it easy. Walk in the doors and break the hive inside the boxed in area. The bee can’t escape so just step in and out of the box to tame it as needed. If your attacked step outside and kill the bees hitting you. Once tamed grab your hive and dip! Stalkers work great for finding the hives as the hive will have a red glow around it. Also being that they are real high up they help get up to them. Hope this helps anyone having issues finding them.
Love me then u will get the bee
Easiest and earliest way to break the hive is to get a pteranodon with decent stamina. Use the screw attack on the hive and fly away to despawn the bees, doesn't take very many hits
Capped at level 5, make a lot of honey, used around 6 rare flowers, quite an easy tame with ghillie suit and a Rex to kill her drones. Got 6 of them make a lot of honey! I recommend taming with two people.
Find a hive with a rock under it, then take a rex and break open the hive. The queen will drop and have fun taming.
Can not take with raw or cooked mutton! Hard to feed due to her floating up and down in the air. Worth the aggravation to get the honey!
Always spawns at level one, but NEVER TAKE ONE KIBBLE. I once tried to tame one with only one kibble, and I was all the way across the map, so I had to use the dotame command, since I think I accidentally hit it,or hitting drones decreases progress.
Lead dinos in with its honey. Watch out for the drones though.
Hives have 5000 health, shoot them to break open. Queen is kbocked out inside. No clue how to get to her without getting stung to death.
I had a titanasaur one shot the nest than I just bug repellent and honey boom honey farm
I suggest you have a creature that can break the hive with ease sence bee drones will attack you if you attempt to destroy there hive you need bug repellent and best way to tame it is with rare flowers or raw prime meat also THE BUG REPELLENT IS NECESSARY OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT EAT
When I tamed 1 with rare flowers I just got a tribe mate to kill the bees off me with a giga. (I think a rex would work just as well)
Get bronto and constantly smack the hive with bronto until broken jump off and walk slowly and try to avoid touching it. How i got 13 giant bee buds.
