When filling your bee hives with rare flowers, they go through 1 flower ever 45mins.

100 flowers equals 75hrs in real time 🫡

Need bug repellent to tame and rare flowers

NEVER CRYO ON ABERRATION. You will not be able to release it bc the game will recognize it as a foreign Dino.

On aberration, their nests can be found at the base of the big brown trees that you cannot harvest

Attacking hives with Rhynio doesn't drop you off mount

I looked all over the redwood forest on the island and can't find one bee hive. Please help

Sometimes bee hives will spawn inside each other which can result in alot of bees attacking you. If you damage one hive use a spyglass to see if it's only one hive.

Just submitted a tip about them being really slow. After getting back to my base, I realized obtaining their hive puts theM IN YOUR INVENTORY.

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

Used 13 dimorph, an Argy, ghillie armoor, bug repellant snd some simple kibble. Cake walk. The dimorphs destroyed the hive in secondsand took care of all the drones with minimal damage. Thinking of getting a second hive.

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

At least for mobile players: DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME WHILE TAMING!! THE BEE WILL RESPAWN!!

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 👍

I really struggled taming these things so here is my tip for low performance pc players:

Preparation: 10 Bug repellants, ghilli armor, 5 dimorphodons (sinomacrops are great too), taming food

1. Go to the redwoods. Once you find a hive, whistle the pack to "attack this target".

2. While your Dinos do their thing, go stand out of the drone's reach. They die after getting too far away from the nest. Observe the hive's HP with spyglass. Once it's just about to break whistle your Dinos to return and go passive.

3. Destroy the hive with a ranged weapon. The queen will fall out.

4. Quickly whistle "Stop" (the queen is afraid of tames), put on bug repellant, and follow her.

5. This is the tricky part. While she bumbles around, you have to quickly approach and feed her without aggroing the drones. I did that by walking by her quickly and spamming E. Don't let her out of your sight because she will dissappear once she's more than 40m away!! (it's not directly despawn but she will only be visible as long as you're in a close proximity) (yea this may be a low performance pc thing)

This is a VERY annoying tame but don't let that stop you! Eventually, you'll make it.

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?

IF YOU CANT FIND A HIVE IN THE REDWOODS! My game had zero nest spawns I had to use admin commands to input "admincheat destroywilddinos" will reset wild spawns so be aware if you built somewhere dangerous. Only way I was able to get quetz and bees to spawn. (dedicated PS4 server)

The best part of this thing is you don't have to lead it home you can just pick it up and it will turn into the hive

You can use bug repellent to open your hives with out taking damage

I'll be honest with you, taming these on scorched earth, Ragnarok and modded maps with scorched engrams and recourses is best, "why?" Because there you have flame arrows and flame throwers, simply shoot the hive with your gun of choice, I recommend anything but a rocket launcher or tek rifle since whenever I try it with those nothing comes out, then burn the drones with a flamethrower, it's most effective, once you've gotten rid of them run up to the Queen, jump, and feed her, that's how it's done, all the drones will tame to you and you should be good, then just obtain bee hive and once you get back to base place the bee hive and demolish it, your bee will come out just fine, if you want honey just place the hive and give it rare flowers, I recommend having camouflage on so they don't attack you, you'll soon get some honey for taming bears and liopluerodons, and making veggie cakes, I believe it's in megalania kibble as well.

Ark: asc

On offcial, do not bother with any tactic other than use rockets to destroy the nest and then run out of render. After a couple secs use bug repellent and run to the tree directly under the nest and see if you can render the queen.

You may need a dino to get close enough. Queens can glitch into trees etc, if they do they are lost. When tamed they turn into drones and expire.

Once you spot the queen with repellent active either charge her spamming your action button with nothing equipped to hands and wild flowers in past hot bar spot.

OR crawle under her while your repellent is active and try to feed her. Personally I've hand sucess more with the gentler approach if lag allows. If lag is bad just run straight at her and don't stop untill ur out of render then turn and Come back doing strafing runs untill you get her.

Queens fly random directions includeing up and away. (If they fly up, give it a few secs at the edge of render and she will drift back down provided you dont antagonize her.) On 1x rates takes 2-3 flowers due to an update. It used to be just 1. For 1 flower insta tame now wait for 3x rates. During love evolved this year and 2x rates it took 2 flowers per bee.
