Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a giant bee? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giant bee.
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
Use their preferred kibble you only need three for a max level!
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
Use a pteranodon....and Use its spin attack.. Now the behive will ne destroyed... After the queen bee summons, use the honey u got from destroing the hive, to tame the queen. Best Luck ;)
Get ghille and bug repellent and use a rocket to destroy the best in one hit also have a good melee weapon with you
Genesis. Found in the Bog on the giant tree dripping blue/green glowing sap. A blood stalker to climb up and building an enclosed trap around the hive does the trick.
use a rocket launcher on nests you hear bees in this tip it works
Tame the Queen with a Sinomicrops on your shoulders. Make sure it’s on neutral. It will kill all the giant bees stinging you and give you a path to tame the Queen with Kibble
Once tamed you will be able to pick up the bee and it will add a hive to your inventory. You can then place it at your base. Keep in mind you will need to put rare flowers inside the beehive in order to keep it alive and producing honey.
Ive tamed about 100 bees now very easy if you gave a wyvern, you need to be well prepared though. Total of 3 bites and then walk backwards, as long as you have backed up quickly enough you should be far enough away from the queen to bite any attacking workers, wait till they finished attacking then dismount, keep a sword in your inventory just in case you get dismounted.
If you plan to use the bee on Abberation, do not put it in a cryopod. It will not throw back out on Abberation
On primitive plus use the battle axe. Works wonders. When feeding the bee, don't touch her. That will cause the drones to attack. And as always, ghillie up and use bug spray.
iirc they only spawn at lv5 and with flowers they are great for raft living
Do you need bug repellent to take it
Honestly the easiest way to break the hive is to chatge at it with a high melee damage rhino. Just make sure not to attack again and kill the queen on accident
Be careful when passive feeding it if you toucu it its drones will kill you
Only certain hives carry a queen walk up to it if you attack and bees swarm you know theres a queen. Destroyed 6 hives before i figured this out.
The easiest way for me to tame the bee is to get ghille armor on, simple kibble, big repellant and some flame arrows with oil jar. Put the bug repellant on. Throw the oil jar on the hive and shoot it with the flame arrow. It will break the hive. Be sure to get to a distance that they can’t attack you though since some bees will fly toward you. Then put the kibble in your last slot on your inventory bar. Walk up to the queen bee and hit E. I have used other methods and by far this was the easiest. You don’t need high powered weapons or any mounts to kill the hive. Super fast and efficient. Hardest thing was to find a hive. (I did this in Scorched Earth on PC)
Direbears are immune to bee stings very useful for destroying bee hives
