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.
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
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.
Even if you are able to approach it without Ghillie Armor, you you won’t be able to tame it. You MUST be under the affect of bug repellent. And Bug repellent is all you need. I just ran up to it and tamed it with a rare flower while wearing full Chitin Armor and bug Repellent. Used a Dire bear on a Quetzal platform saddle to destroy the nest
Bolas do not actually work on the queen bee I threw 8 before I realized
Couldn't tame until I used bug repellent
They swarm around a hive that if you break open you'll find the queen that can be tamed
Use frog/toad to destroy hive then tame queen be careful not to hurt the queen.
Just use a blood-stalker walk up to the nest and destroy it but be careful and don’t spam take your time because you might kill the queen bee. Then get some extraordinary kibble and it should tame form one.
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?
The drones die once they go a certain distance from the hive or queen. To safely break the hive without a bear just go slightly out of the range they can travel and shoot with a crossbow.
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
You can build a box around some hives so you don't have to chase it.
Break the hive, use big repellent and feed the queen rare flowers. Pick up the queen and she turns into the hive to be placed.
For finding an "active" bee hive it seems to just be a case of chance encountering. Flying up to it you will hear buzzing this will indicate an active hive. From there you just break it to get access to the Queen... I am pretty certain this is the case. Note if you don't hear a distinct buzzing it will be unoccupied.
In Ragnarok they are commonly found under rock bridges towards the blue obelisk!
You can also tame them with meat, I personally did it with prime meat and it works perfectly fine.
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
