Tips & Strategies
I'll be honest with you, taming these on scorched earth, Ragnarok and modded maps with scorched engrams and recourses is best, "why?" Because there you have flame arrows and flame throwers, simply shoot the hive with your gun of choice, I recommend anything but a rocket launcher or tek rifle since whenever I try it with those nothing comes out, then burn the drones with a flamethrower, it's most effective, once you've gotten rid of them run up to the Queen, jump, and feed her, that's how it's done, all the drones will tame to you and you should be good, then just obtain bee hive and once you get back to base place the bee hive and demolish it, your bee will come out just fine, if you want honey just place the hive and give it rare flowers, I recommend having camouflage on so they don't attack you, you'll soon get some honey for taming bears and liopluerodons, and making veggie cakes, I believe it's in megalania kibble as well.
More Giant Bee Encountering Tips
Will not transfer over servers once you tame it.
Flame.
Thrower.
They were bugged so you couldnt find the nests. Turns out they were invisible. The recent patch should have fixed it.
I had found about 30 beehive on The Island map. They were all empty. NO QUEEN BEE WTH.
Not sure if this is just me or not but on console when she summons her soldiers while trying to tame it kicks you off the server
Can't find them on Lost Island, anyone else?
The anti meshing keeps kill8ng my queen tame. I don't know how to stop this
I make about 40-50 fishing poles (they're cheap) and fly around with an argy or wyv stealing honey from hives. Honey never goes bad in fishing poles and I take it out as needed. Then just fly away from the worker bees. Gilly is best if you have it.
There's a glitch in lost island when you break the hive the queen doesn't come out i could've been having bad lack but idk
Beehives can also be found on cliff faces outside the redwood biome, if your not looking to be mauled by a thylacoleo.
