Tips & Strategies
The giant worker bees on crystal isles are neutral, even if you walk into the hive. But if you hit anything... BEWARE!
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.
You can also tame them with meat, I personally did it with prime meat and it works perfectly fine.
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.
My advice for farming up some honey, or taming one of these guys is as follows:
1. Tame a Bronto and equip it with platform saddle
2. Tame a dire bear
3. Go to the redwoods and look for hives
4. Position Bronto to where you can hit the hive with your bear
5. Hit the hive and get the 15 honey with the bear
6. Destroy the hive and get a queen bee to come out
7. Tame with kibble whilst wearing ghillie and bug repelant
8. Turn your bee into a hive and put rare flowers in it to passively gain honey
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.
Need bug repellent to tame and rare flowers
RAGNAROK TIP: Type of bee: tamed, if you tamed this or forced tamed this MAKE YOUR BASE AT TYRANNOGON RARE FLOWERS SPAWN THERE, if your bee says get beehive hit the button you need to take it, if your beehive when placed at your base has rare flowers it is healthy and you probably know this but it needs rare flowers. Now please don't downvote and report me cause it says to downvote and report false information cause I am on switch so it might be different than how PC or mobile or Xbox is.
You can use a tent after the bee hive breaks put the tent over top of the queen bee then wait for it to not be agressive then remove the tent and instantly tame it
On aberration, their nests can be found at the base of the big brown trees that you cannot harvest
Just use a blood-stalker walk up to the nest and destroy it but be careful and don’t spam take your time because you might kill the queen bee. Then get some extraordinary kibble and it should tame form one.
Wear a ghillie suit and use bug spray on your mount and yourself and just crack the hive open with an rpg. Proceed to feed the Queen. Easy tame 👍
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
I looked all over the redwood forest on the island and can't find one bee hive. Please help
