If you happen to have a Rhyniognatha you can easily destroy the hive with your primary attack as it deals a lot of damage. Weaken the bee nest and deal the final blow with a range weapon of your choice and fly out of render distance. Then you want to return and the bees wont agro onto you even at close distance. Wait for the right moment to jump of and quickly head towards the queen spamming the feed button.

If you fail just hop on your rhynio and repeat. Remember to keep an eye on the queen bee as you can loose sight pretty easy especially in the redwoods.

Do you have problems feeding it? Follow my instructions and you can tame them like a piece of cake:

The key point is that the bee queen produces other bees even when it is not aggroed on you. The only way to realize if it is aggroed or not is to analyze its movement pattern:

When aggroed: it flies straight forward

When De-aggroed: it flies a small distance and turns left or right and repeats this pattern over and over again.

Taming step by step:

1. Destroy the hive and mount on a bird (Wyvern is the best choice because bees do not aggro on wyverns)

2. Keep your distance from the bee queen and just monitor its movement until it stops running away (De-aggroed) and is close to the ground.

3. NOW spary bug repellant on BOTH your BIRD and yourself.

4. Fly towards the bee queen fast. DO NOT LAND unless you are on a wyvern. Dismount your bird as soon as you can (the bee must be on the right side of your bird when you dismount) spam feeding button and YES you finally made it.

5. Get the hive find another bee queen to revenge previous failures.

Good Luck Survivors.

The bee isn't tamable while she's aggro'd onto anything so keep your tames well away or cryo them. For best results, sprint up and spam the feed key. Also clear the surrounding area before going for the hive, or you know that random raptor is ALWAYS gonna f you up.

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.

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.

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.

On the north east section of the island map, right near where the snow zone and tropic zones meet, there is a small natural bay. If you go inland from there you should see a small pathway that stays lower than the rest of the area. Inside that area are two spawns for giant bees that never seem to make a hive so you can easily tame them without the struggle of the hive.

Use Bug Repellent AFTER you break the hive with the Bear. No one ever said this and I’ve been taking aggro for years lol. It doesn’t work if it’s already applied before you break hive.

If you're playing on ARK: Ultimate Mobile Edition, they are able to be tamed with 1 raw prime meat, so you don't have to waste your rare flowers or simple kibble.

Giant bees are a staple of cooking kibble or foods in ark because they produce honey, so here’s a guide to help you tame one, so you can efficiently produce it

1. Giant queen bees are found in beehives, which are most common in redwood forests. Look for them on the trunks of the trees, some will have a beehive a short way up. To get a queen be to spawn you need to break the nest (NOTE: not all nests spawn a queen when broken) which is best done with a rocket launcher, or a creature. The nest will release bees when attacked which can dismount you so be careful about killing them and killing aggressive creatures beforehand.

2. Once the queen bee spawns it will wander around the forest. I recommend running away to let it deaggro (do not go out of render or it could despawn) to tame it you must feed it rare flowers or simple kibble, whichever you can get easier works, from the last slot on your hotbar. 3. You can either run in full speed and feed it before it notices you, or use ghille and bug repellant to sneak up and feed it. The second way is easier but uses more resources.

Happy taming!
