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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Apparently, you can tame free-roaming queens on the Switch! Simply don a ghillie suit and bug repellent, run up to her, and quickly give her a kibble. Just don’t aggro the drones!

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.

The best way I’ve found to tame the. Was with a flying shoulder pet - Sinomacrops or Dimorph are best just don’t forget to turn off auto scream on sino.

Whistle your pet to attack the hive and run a ways away so you’re just out of render range. You’ll have to figure out the right range, but if you get far enough away the bees won’t spawn, and when the hive breaks the queen won’t run or spawn bees.

Desmodus actually is good for taming these just hit their nest and fly side to side and kill the workers then keep watch of the health once it’s low shoot it with a arrow and she should come out then just feed her 3 rare flowers.
