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

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!!

Will not transfer over servers once you tame it.

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 :)

Can't find them on Lost Island, anyone else?

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

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

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

NEVER break the hive with ranged attacks unless it is from a rocket launcher or tek rifle. If you choose to shoot it, you will waste alot of your ammo because beehives have a 65% damage reduction against bullets, and you should not try to shoot the drones that will continuously spawn from it infinitely, because they will not repair the hive, so best not to shoot it down and use a direbear because i'm gonna assume the beehive is close enough to you to give you the option to either melee it or shoot it like the other guy, it protects you from being dismounted from giant bees, and it has a damage multiplier that can make it do way more damage against beehives since it counts as a thatch structure. Oh, and the queen has a bug after it spawns from its destroyed beehive that will make it fly in a straight line infinitely until it is damaged or aggroed and most of the time this line is pointed away from the ground and towards the sky, so best to be close to the beehive the moment you destroy it so you can fix the queens ai by luring it with honey, instead of being far away enough that the drones won't chase you, because then when you destroy the hive and try to run up to the queen bee to lure it the queen will have flown far enough away that there is nothing you can do about it.

Bears are not immune to bees. RIP Yogi

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Beehives can also be found on cliff faces outside the redwood biome, if your not looking to be mauled by a thylacoleo.

You can put it in a cryo pod after you demolish the hive and transfer it that way up for those who don’t know

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
