Easiest way : go to ab then look for the hives , the hives stack so destroy all hives with a mana or whichever tame you have then the bee will be stuck in the hive , what you can do is is get an angle on the bee and easy tame while its sitting

Keep in mind that as soon as you destroy the nest the queen giant bee will start flying away instantly, so be close to the hive the moment it is destroyed. The queen flys at a slow speed, but fast enough for it to have severe consequences as if you lose sight of it for even a second you might lose it completely. After you destroy the hive you can use honey that is definitely dropped from the destroyed beehive to lure it as queen giant bees don't wander like a normal creature and instead fly in a straight line at like a 150 degree angle when they are initially spawned from a destroyed beehive, so use honey to fix its ai and actually make it start descending to the ground then wander like a normal creature.

If you don't have honey, you can also damage it by using something like a tranq arrow which won't kill it and that will also fix its ai. (obviously this will also aggro the regular giant bees)

If instead the queen bee is too far away to lure with honey, then read the first sentence of the tip again, specifically the second clause.

You can also tame them with meat, I personally did it with prime meat and it works perfectly fine.

Use a TEK Stryker with a phase cannon rig, one shot destroyers the hive, the queen appears. Tame normally.

How to tame a giant queen bee on the island

Items needed: rhynio, simple kibble/several raw prime meat, ghillie suit, bug repellant

1. Find a giant bee hive that has one or just a wild giant queen bee (skip to step 3 if you found one without a hive)

-You will know if a giant queen bee is nearby if you suddenly hear a screeching sound mixed with a squishing sound nearby that repeats every second or so

-Giant bee hives are found high up on redwood trees, they can also spawn on rock faces that are found below cliffs in certain areas. Some examples are the terrain near green ob and the footpaw plateau but there are some other areas

-If you go up to a giant bee hive and don't hear a buzzing sound then there is nothing inside it so you can just destroy it and get nothing

-They have 5000 health and take 65% less damage from firearms, but it counts as a thatch structure so certain creatures have damage multipliers on them

2. Destroy the hive with the giant queen bee

-Easiest way is to use a rhynio cuz they deal 10x damage to thatch structures, they can 1 shot regular giant bees, and they can fly so you don't have to build some weird stuff for your direbear to reach it

-If you are too close to the giant bee hive when you damage it, giant bees will chase you but if you are far away they wont chase you and you can freely damage the hive until its destroyed

3. Prevent the giant queen bee from flying to the stars

-They fly fairly slow but fast enough that if you lose sight of it for a few seconds you might have to spend a few minutes finding it again, they also hover in the sky infinitely like onycs

-Queen giant bees will begin spawning regular giant bees once a player or tame goes within a certain radius of it, they can do this infinitely but can only spawn a max of 10 regular giant bees, it also produces that same weird sound described above so use that to locate the queen giant bee if you lost it.

-They spawn at minimum level so they will most likely spawn at level 1, if your difficulty allows a max level of 150 they spawn at level 5.

-When a giant queen bee initially spawns it will fly in a straight line infinitely until it is aggroed in which it will actually get a brain and start descending to the ground then wander normally.

-You can aggro giant queen bees by eating a rare flower and waiting for the duration to end (this causes them to fly towards you but they can't physically harm you in any way as their only attack is spawning regular giant bees) or hitting them with a tranq arrow shot from a crossbow or using anything that doesnt kill them in one shot (This causes them to flee, also they usually have 80 health at level 1)

4. Sneak up to the queen giant bee and tame it

-If you are playing on singleplayer & mobile put raw prime meat in your last slot as singleplayer has 2.5x taming speed so it will tame instantly for levels 1-5 and even better you can spam it and it wont be as wasteful

-Otherwise put simple kibble in your last slot, as it will still tame instantly for levels 1-5

-If this is your first time then get ghillie armor and use bug repellant

-Run up to the giant queen bee really quickly, (pretty much hug it) wait for half of a second for the "feed [item] to tame" text to pop up, then press the food in your last slot and hope it tames instantly

-As with any other tip this is not 100% foolproof, you might have to try several times for it to work

-If the

-You have to be really quick as you have less than 2 seconds before the regular giant bees get mad which then results in the queen giant bee refusing to be fed

-Regular giant bees have a really distinct aggro sound which sounds like 2 consecutive "angry" buzzes, if you hear that run away, then get on your rhynio and start spamming the right side of your screen until every bee that's chasing you is dead, if you get dismounted continue to spam the right side of your screen, as you will still mount the rhynio and attack. This is because the bees effect only checks every 2 seconds to see if you are on a mount then dismounts you if you are instead of preventing you from mounting.

-If you see the cyan text flash on the screen for a frame then it disappears due to the queen bee moving away from the center of your screen, then hug the giant queen bee again then press the food in your last slot anyway, this works if its within the 2 seconds described previously because ark will allow you to feed a passive tame creature if you are in a close radius of it even if you don't see the cyan text

Do not have a Chibi in your offhand when accessing the bee hive inventory, the bees will sting you even if you have full ghili on!!!

For me i used a dire bear and some honey

Use a spyglass and look at the domesticated hive to check how much honey is inside of it instead of having to do it yourself and get damaged.

If you want a little bee pet you can upload one of the workers she spawns and then take it out and it won’t die

USE A EQUUS it breaks bee hive in one hit from buckick use gillie And put bug repellent on you and the equus i done it lots the bees don’t even fight back

You can destroy a hive with a wyvern bite. Minting a wyvern protects you from begin attacked by drones. You can also kill drones released during destroying after queen is out and you can still tame it unless drones which are following her are untouched.

When taming a giant bee, I have a few tips. The things you'll mainly need are as follows:

- Rare flowers. Lots of them.

Giant bees don't require much of these to tame, but a majority of their use comes from using them as a fuel source for their hives.

- Ghillie Armor

Giant bees have a fairly low aggro range, so you can very easily get away with only using ghillie armor. Bug spray helps, but isn't needed.

First off, don't bother with tree hives, unless you have a pteranodon with high stamina. You'll want to spin attack the hive. If no bees come out, don't bother, there are no giant bees.

Alternatively, and my favorite method, you can tame a dire bear using a cheap two foundation stone trap, and spacing out your tranqs. Ironically enough, honey tames them fastest, which makes them easier imo due to ovis not always being very easy to find.

The dire bear is significant for their immunity to bee stings which they share with their rider. Use your dire bear to attack ground hives. I'd advise you secondary attack the hives first to gather a hefty amount of honey first, then break as normal. No fight needed.

Once the queen bee is free, hop off your mount, equip your ghillie armor if you haven't already, and make sure your rare flowers are in your taming slot. Sneak up to the bee, and spam try to feed it.

And now you have a bee! This method is tried and true, and using this method, I've gathered 3 bees in less than 15 minutes. No joke, it's that effective.

Now that you have a bee, I'd recommend first thinking about what you want to do with them.

Before you pick her up, you should think: do you want to keep her workers? If you pick her up, you'll kill them, and they won't spawn back. If you want to keep them for whatever reason, you should lead her back without storing her. This is slow, and even a little risky, but it lets her workers live.

Otherwise, if you're getting a giant bee for honey taming, I recommend taming several and forming a miniature farm for them. They produce honey very slowly, (20 mins per pot,) but you can easily circumvent this with several hives. Give them all plenty of flowers, and honestly just forget about them for a little while. Kinda like a sap tap. When you come back, you'll have a lot of honey.

Alternatively, you could install a mod like Structures Plus (S+) and use their beehive alternative for more efficient honey production. Enjoy! :)

My method to tame the queen is to be slightly back where you will have time to kill the bees and use something with area damage like a trike. Then i slowly shoot it down and kill the incoming bees eith my trike. I use a spyglass to make sure that im ready to aproach. Once the nest is in its one shot range i just get close and finish it off to start of the queens tame. Then i do the same thing with my trike and play a little gsme with the queen.chase feed fight repeat.

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

Taming a Dire Bear is your best option with the Giant Bee. First, break the hive, either with the bear or with a gun, then(with a a full set of Ghillie armor and Bug Repellant) walk up to it with Rarer Flowers in your last slot on your hotbar, press the prompted button(E on PC, triangle on PS4, and Y on X Box). After that, you can hold the same button when looking at the Giant Queen Bee, and have her turn into a Bee Hive. You can place this down at your base. The hive must have Rare Flowers in it or it will begin dying. Make sure whenever your enter the hives inventory that you are wearing a Ghillie Suit, otherwisse you will be stung repeatedly. After a while, you will obtain honey, which can be used in many recipes

I love how it says it's a herbivore but it eats meat????

The drones will instantly die if you get far enough wat from the hive, so in the redwoods just parachute away once you grab the honey.

Two words: Dire Bear

A helpful tip should include a few more words

You don't need bug repellent or a grilled suit.

The reason you would use these is to keep agro off. If it's not agro to you you can tame it. I quite literally just did this in flak armor and no bug repellent after blowing up a hive with C4.

Their favorite kibble is simple kibble now
