After destroying the hive use the honey it drops to keep the queen close by adding it to task bar and throwing it on the floor it works guys

If you want to tame one, the easiest way is to get a dire bear and break the nest, because they are immune to bees. Use it to break the nest, then when the nest beaks, make sure you have full ghille armor and bug repellent, and tame it with simple kibble. You can then go to the bee and press the 'aquire nest' button, and it will give you a bees nest. You can place this on any natural ground, but no human made floors. Put rare flowers into it, and it will produce giant bee honey over time. Rare flowers can be harvested from plants in the swamps across the island, but beware of the creatures that dwell there. When you go into your bees nest to gather honey, you will get the bee effect and start taking damadge, even though it is your own bees nest.

Passive tame. Use rare flowers. Take about 4-5. Use full ghille and bug spray. Even then the bees she summon may attack. She has a very bad view distance compared to other Dino's so stay close.

To avoid wasting your time, if no bees come out when you attack or take honey, it means that there is no queen in that hive.

ALWAYS break the hive with ranged attacks. If you choose to melee it,drones will continuously spawn from it infinitely, and they will repair the hive, so best to shoot it down and kill all the drones before attempting a tame. Oh, and the queen will spawn more drones periodically, so bee careful.

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!!

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

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.

After 23 bee hives what finally worked for me was

I used a snow owl to find the nests

I harvested the nest with a dire bear while wearing ghillie and used bug repellent

Broke the nest with the dire bear

Put honey in my hotbar to keep her right where i wanted her

While she ate it i fed her rare flowers

Boom TAMED

Use simple kibble to tame I found it a lot easier than using rare flowers
