Can be found on the cliffs where the red woods meets the snow on lost island. The southernmost section of the snow sticks out and gradually becomes redwood.

So… I saw one near south zone 1 at that cliff, but it was a queen, is normal? Up=yes down=no

If you hit the hive with a club the worker bees wont come out

When on the hunt for taming a queen, note that not all hives will have a queen bee inside. If you attack a hive and workers begin to swarm, you've found the queen. If not, try another hive or kill off the empty ones for more potential tames to spawn.

Barrel roll the hive with a pteranodon does a lot of damage and you don't have to use any ammo but be careful for the drones because they will knock you off your mount

You can find them in the cravase by red OB in scorched earth

They will sting you and you will dismount and the hert

Gigas NO LONGER DAMAGE HIVES. People have complained about this for years without an official response, but I can confirm that Giga bites do not affect hives in any way. Actually kind of annoyed, it really doesn't make any sense.

I can't find any. I found one once a few days ago but it got destroyed. now I've been at it a few hours and can't find a hive or wild bee. Any suggestions?

Need honey in Aberration? You might find that taming one of these guys is unnescessary. You can hardly walk ten steps without finding a wild bee hive (not including the bioluminescent areas, of course), and seeing as the hazard suit also protects you from the “BEEEES!” effect, you can freely harvest these hives without fear of stings.

PC players on Lost Island- I’ve read that finding queens can be nearly impossible but I’ve consistently found queens each time I bust a hive in a specific easy to find location so thought I’d share.

1. Go to redwoods castle (that island encircled by a river in the SE center ish of the map)

2. From there fly out from the castle in the direction of the bridge that leads to the redwoods surrounding the castle.

3. Fly away from the bridge direction a bit to the right towards the opening in the trees you’ll see but then after entering that cleft in the trees, turn hard left off that clearing to follow the cliff face that’s behind the first row of trees that are by the water edge.

4. Shortly you will come to a gouge in the cliff with a convenient place to land on a sort of natural ramp looking formation, and either side of that where the cliff recedes up the natural stone ramp you landed on, there are some spawn points for hives. They can be easily reached while riding a bear, but you may need to build a small ramp using a few pillars, foundations, ramps, and ceiling tile since bears can’t jump. Sometimes I’ve found two hives at once there. I haven’t managed to tame the queen yet but every time I’ve found a hive there and broke it with my bear it has a queen. PS if you have a sinomacrops on your shoulder pet turn the scream off or it will scare away and even kill the queen >_< RIP second bee queen.

Enjoy

To drop honey on console, equip it on last slot and use it as if you'd consume/equip it (L1 + X on PS4). It seems to attract carnivores from medium distance. Great for calming Leeds (giant fish) when on a raft.

If your a noob these are your worst nightmare so run as fast as you can from hives. If your decent , you can tackle this with flamethrowers, cannonballs, or even using a flying Dino and picking the hive up and dropping it works. If your a god use a diplodocus and knock it off a cliff

Get ghille and bug repellent and use a rocket to destroy the best in one hit also have a good melee weapon with you

They spawn on Redwood trees, always lvl 5, break the hive with a flyer, the queen should drop on the ground, bring ghillie + bug repellant, you need 2 ichty kibbles or 5 flowers, the queen seems passive but the bees will attack you. Once tamed you can convert the queen into a hive (structure) it produce 1 honey pot per hour (not sure)

If you have a snow owl, use the thermal vision ability to see where the bee hives are.

Just bring a good trike and stand back and whistle attack target on the bee hive, the trike will kill any bees that come out, once it breaks whistle neutral so any bees that attack you will get killed then tame the queen

Why is there Male queen bees,ark!!! Fix this now!

If you're pkaying mobile version,on the island map(I'm still at it so idk abt other maps),u can the engram "Giant Bee Hive",made with Chitin,Tatch and Sap.U can't place it on the natural ground or atificial ground though.So make a giant tree platform,go to Redwoods,place ur platform and then place ur hive on it and give it rare flowers to get honey.

Upsides are that there are no thylas in mobile that could harm it(or not since some dinos won't give a sh!t abt ur structures)and u don't get attacked by bees on collecting ur honey

Downside(or no) is that it's a midgame engram and could be a pain in the @ss at times u need it in the early game

GET THE BEE HIVE BETTER TO CARRY IN YOUR INVENTORY THAN WALKING IT HOME
