How do I kill a giant bee? giant bee battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
A good wall-clinger with high melee can bust open a live hive without spawning too many bees and can clear out dead hives in the redwoods to promote spawning of live ones.
If no ghillie armor is available, taming a direbear will do just fine! There are usually a lot of intermediate level-high level bears outside of the swamp near the redwoods!
If your are struggling with rare flowers just find low lvl therizeno do reg tame not starve unless u got kibble. then go to swamp they gather insane amounts of flowers and fiber there. Use as lawnmower run and harvest hope this helps
These hives can also be found on cliffs other than the redwood trees. This can be helpful if you don't want to get mauled by a carno, or a pair of dire bears.
If the bees were as large as the current queen...
How large is the queen...?
It is a passive tame, I tried to knock it out and used about 10 tranq arrows before I gave up. You can sometimes find these wandering around on single player without breaking a nest for some reason, whether or not the wandering bees are tamable I have no clue but I'm betting one of you guys will find out.
Is this like the only creature that spawns in ALL maps
Ive looked through 90% of dododex and this is the only one i saw that spawns on all maps
A lot of people have trouble finding these on genesis so here’s the place. Travel to the bog around cords 75 75. You will see trees that go so high that they are higher than the clouds. Above the clouds on these trees you can find hives. Some on the sides of the trees or some on the branches. Best thing to do is find one on a brand so you have a place to stand. Build two foundations side by side underneath the hive. Walls on each side two high and on the front two doors. Box it in and out Ramos down from the doors to get up it easy. Walk in the doors and break the hive inside the boxed in area. The bee can’t escape so just step in and out of the box to tame it as needed. If your attacked step outside and kill the bees hitting you. Once tamed grab your hive and dip! Stalkers work great for finding the hives as the hive will have a red glow around it. Also being that they are real high up they help get up to them. Hope this helps anyone having issues finding them.
Hey I searched the whole red wood and I’m not finding a bee nest so can someone tell me where else I can get one And ...I’m on iPad
These bees don’t mess around they almost killed a dragon with like 30 of them
So these guys don't show up on Gen 2 because of some bug so basically free honey and if u want them spawn them in with commands
Get a flyer a broronto and just go full force on it but both have to be like 150 and god stats
Ark primitive, when I turn a queen into a hive, I can’t put any rare flowers in it. Access inventory menu not there.
Use a oil pot or a flame thrower to kill them!!!!!!!
In genius use a bloodstalker’s vision to find nests
To kill, grab a mid level sarco, one bite will take out the nest and one will take out the queen. Nests often spawn near the swamps and redwoods area so easy to get a sarco to
I have honestly only ever briefly seen a hive on my argy. I have never seen one of these.
THESE TECHNICALLY ARENT IN EVERY MAP BECAUSE THEY ARENT ON MOBILE :0
If you encounter this BEEst (sorry) early game and if you have a parasour mount, you can hold down the right thumbstick on the parasoar to scare it away
The Gemini bees can go through railings if the Queen is not in its hive
