What is a giant bee used for? giant bee battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
The honey is a must for fishing. It can be used for salmon, just like leech blood. I used it as bait for an hour and noticed that fish bite more frequently. In a pool with coel and salmon, I noticed that the salmon bit more frequently than the coels while using honey as bait.
My advice for farming up some honey, or taming one of these guys is as follows:
1. Tame a Bronto and equip it with platform saddle
2. Tame a dire bear
3. Go to the redwoods and look for hives
4. Position Bronto to where you can hit the hive with your bear
5. Hit the hive and get the 15 honey with the bear
6. Destroy the hive and get a queen bee to come out
7. Tame with kibble whilst wearing ghillie and bug repelant
8. Turn your bee into a hive and put rare flowers in it to passively gain honey
