It makes honey every 45mins and eats rare flowers every 4 hours

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!!

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 :)

How cool would it be if you had the option for these to be a hive or a shoulder pet I think it would be amazing

Take it home, make it make a nest at your base, get ghille armour, get your honey plus it produces bees that fight for the queen but the mand nest will hurt you when your close without ghille armour

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

I found using a shadowmane that deals 2200 damage can one hit the hive then let it get out of agro range get off tame and run to it with rare flowers in hot bar spamming Y I'm on xbox still recomend using gilly armor and bug repellant tho but I tamed 12 in less than an hour only hard part was finding hives but thank the ark gods for YouTube lol

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

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.

The anti meshing keeps kill8ng my queen tame. I don't know how to stop this

191 points   🔧 Utility   Mar 19, 2020   Report

Put Rare Flowers in the hive so it can produce Honey which is used for a lot of things

35 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Jun 28, 2024   Report

Something I see way too often even with veterans is that if a hive doesn’t spawn mini bees THERE IS NO QUEEN don’t waste time run near hives and if physical bees pop out there is a queen it will also make a loud ass sound btw. Remeber ghille will work with no repellant but repellant makes life easier

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

136 points   🔧 Utility   May 27, 2021   Report

Place your hive next to water sit in the water and you can open the hive without your bees attacking you

101 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jun 5, 2022   Report

You can also tame the wandering ones but you still have to wear guile

143 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Feb 16, 2021   Report

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.

Whoever suggested doing a running jump while spamming e. Thank you so much! I was having a really frustrating time but that trick worked for me. I also use focal chili and a ghillie suit so I was moving quicker and quieter

Someone here said it cant be transfered. It can when inside of a cryo.

246 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Aug 28, 2017   Report

When following the Giant Queen Bee its good to have a full set of ghillie armor, bug repellant and for some reason crouching seems to put you slightly below the drones hit range, as long as you keep moving that is. I used this tactic earlier today to tame my first queen and it worked very well
