How do I kill a giant bee? giant bee battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
On aberration, their nests can be found at the base of the big brown trees that you cannot harvest
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.
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)
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.
You guys! I was Arking when I saw weird crystals (they were orange, a cluster of three or four) it was closest to green obelisk and I went to the crystals to investigate, and I heard buzzing! Then all the sudden I am falling, and OH MY GOSH it was a giant bee hive, with other bee hives in it! I found the exit, and a dire bear. I tamed it, and harvested so much honey. It was awesome guys I’m telling you! Also, thanks Dan for creating Dododex! 🦤🦤🦤🦖🦖🦖🦕🦕🦕
Are they there in mobile?if so where?
Run they knock you off your tame if you take honey or destroy the hive or if you see them in the wild they will not hesitate to kill you
In Ragnarok they are commonly found under rock bridges towards the blue obelisk!
For me i used a dire bear and some honey
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.
I actually had a hive spawn on green obelisk in the island, so that's always good place to look if you're trying to find one. Can also be found in redwoods, or on surrounding rocks in case you don't wanna get mauled by Thylacoleos.
Stay crouch when attacking the hive and attempting the tame. Drones have a harder time hitting you
Where are bees found in mobile ive looked everywhere and can’t find them
I am unsure but i have been finding them here in south zone definitely didn’t get spawned killed 🫡
Bro, I can't find the Hive, and I've looked everywhere. (Map Game: Ark Crystal Isles)
You will know which hive has a queen if you hear this buzzy sound “oh no/uh oh” coming from the hive. If you are on Valguero, I suggest either breaking all hives in the Aberration cave or in single player using infinite stats and players only when close. Why for that location? Hives have a habit there of spawning 1-30 hive in a single spot.
How are you supposed to find them?!?
I broke almost every beehive in the redwoods and still haven’t found a single one!
Why are all the bees gone ;(
Bees are chill just like in real life even if you go in the hive,don’t hit ANYTHING or your dead
Are these on mobile because I can’t find them
These guys are Farley easy to kill but I would recommend letting his queen build another hive so you can farm honey
