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

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

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

Keep in mind that as soon as you destroy the nest the queen giant bee will start flying away instantly, so be close to the hive the moment it is destroyed. The queen flys at a slow speed, but fast enough for it to have severe consequences as if you lose sight of it for even a second you might lose it completely. After you destroy the hive you can use honey that is definitely dropped from the destroyed beehive to lure it as queen giant bees don't wander like a normal creature and instead fly in a straight line at like a 150 degree angle when they are initially spawned from a destroyed beehive, so use honey to fix its ai and actually make it start descending to the ground then wander like a normal creature.

If you don't have honey, you can also damage it by using something like a tranq arrow which won't kill it and that will also fix its ai. (obviously this will also aggro the regular giant bees)

If instead the queen bee is too far away to lure with honey, then read the first sentence of the tip again, specifically the second clause.

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

Certain hives can be found on cliffs around the island and these may well be easier to interact with when compared to the redwood hives.

The honey is a must for fishing. It can be used for salmon, just like leech blood. I used it as bait for an hour and noticed that fish bite more frequently. In a pool with coel and salmon, I noticed that the salmon bit more frequently than the coels while using honey as bait.

How to tame a giant queen bee on the island

Items needed: rhynio, simple kibble/several raw prime meat, ghillie suit, bug repellant

1. Find a giant bee hive that has one or just a wild giant queen bee (skip to step 3 if you found one without a hive)

-You will know if a giant queen bee is nearby if you suddenly hear a screeching sound mixed with a squishing sound nearby that repeats every second or so

-Giant bee hives are found high up on redwood trees, they can also spawn on rock faces that are found below cliffs in certain areas. Some examples are the terrain near green ob and the footpaw plateau but there are some other areas

-If you go up to a giant bee hive and don't hear a buzzing sound then there is nothing inside it so you can just destroy it and get nothing

-They have 5000 health and take 65% less damage from firearms, but it counts as a thatch structure so certain creatures have damage multipliers on them

2. Destroy the hive with the giant queen bee

-Easiest way is to use a rhynio cuz they deal 10x damage to thatch structures, they can 1 shot regular giant bees, and they can fly so you don't have to build some weird stuff for your direbear to reach it

-If you are too close to the giant bee hive when you damage it, giant bees will chase you but if you are far away they wont chase you and you can freely damage the hive until its destroyed

3. Prevent the giant queen bee from flying to the stars

-They fly fairly slow but fast enough that if you lose sight of it for a few seconds you might have to spend a few minutes finding it again, they also hover in the sky infinitely like onycs

-Queen giant bees will begin spawning regular giant bees once a player or tame goes within a certain radius of it, they can do this infinitely but can only spawn a max of 10 regular giant bees, it also produces that same weird sound described above so use that to locate the queen giant bee if you lost it.

-They spawn at minimum level so they will most likely spawn at level 1, if your difficulty allows a max level of 150 they spawn at level 5.

-When a giant queen bee initially spawns it will fly in a straight line infinitely until it is aggroed in which it will actually get a brain and start descending to the ground then wander normally.

-You can aggro giant queen bees by eating a rare flower and waiting for the duration to end (this causes them to fly towards you but they can't physically harm you in any way as their only attack is spawning regular giant bees) or hitting them with a tranq arrow shot from a crossbow or using anything that doesnt kill them in one shot (This causes them to flee, also they usually have 80 health at level 1)

4. Sneak up to the queen giant bee and tame it

-If you are playing on singleplayer & mobile put raw prime meat in your last slot as singleplayer has 2.5x taming speed so it will tame instantly for levels 1-5 and even better you can spam it and it wont be as wasteful

-Otherwise put simple kibble in your last slot, as it will still tame instantly for levels 1-5

-If this is your first time then get ghillie armor and use bug repellant

-Run up to the giant queen bee really quickly, (pretty much hug it) wait for half of a second for the "feed [item] to tame" text to pop up, then press the food in your last slot and hope it tames instantly

-As with any other tip this is not 100% foolproof, you might have to try several times for it to work

-If the

-You have to be really quick as you have less than 2 seconds before the regular giant bees get mad which then results in the queen giant bee refusing to be fed

-Regular giant bees have a really distinct aggro sound which sounds like 2 consecutive "angry" buzzes, if you hear that run away, then get on your rhynio and start spamming the right side of your screen until every bee that's chasing you is dead, if you get dismounted continue to spam the right side of your screen, as you will still mount the rhynio and attack. This is because the bees effect only checks every 2 seconds to see if you are on a mount then dismounts you if you are instead of preventing you from mounting.

-If you see the cyan text flash on the screen for a frame then it disappears due to the queen bee moving away from the center of your screen, then hug the giant queen bee again then press the food in your last slot anyway, this works if its within the 2 seconds described previously because ark will allow you to feed a passive tame creature if you are in a close radius of it even if you don't see the cyan text

Why is it impossible to find a giant bee inside the hive?

You can transfer to other servers if you cryopod it BEFORE you "obtain" it as a Bee Hive, you can cryopod it and transfer it, just obtain the hive once you throw out the Queen Bee.

C4 the hive. Then you only need to deal with one swarm of easily killable drones, and then taming the queen is simple. Just watch out for the drones she spawns.

To make honey last practically forever, make a fishing rod and equip honey, that is about to spoil, to the fishing rod, then un-equip it. It should refresh the spoil timer. Does not work with leech blood. Tested on PS4.

-Hartz

The giant worker bees on crystal isles are neutral, even if you walk into the hive. But if you hit anything... BEWARE!

Don't waste any anno. Simple whistle attack target for your argi and let the bird do the Job. Stay away until the hive is broken the follow the queen with flowers, ghillie and bug repl.

Honey the bee creates expires quickly. (even in a fridge.)

You can actually (attach) the honey to a fishing rod and remove at anytime. This will prevent the honey from ever expiring! Good way to store it as fishing rods are so cheap to make!

Hey I’m on old mobile and I can’t find a naturally spawning hive if you break a hive you made will a bee come?

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

the level of the smaller bees is the same level as the queen bee. so you can just attack it then check the level of the small bees so you know what level the queen bee is and you don’t have to break the hive/nest thing

keep some rare flowers in the hive after they are tamed, they'll consume it very slowly, but it heals the hive.

If you have a megachaleon they’ll produce rare flowers and the bees eat rare flowers and the bees will produce honey
