Overview

The Giant Bee is a flying invertebrate creature in ARK: Survival Evolved. Found in beehives on redwood trees and cliffsides, these territorial creatures guard their Queen and can be tamed to produce honey. While the drones cannot be leveled directly, a tamed Queen Bee will spawn drones that can defend you and produce valuable honey.

Dossier

Wild

In the wild, Apis lithohermaea Drones never stray far from their nests, which they build high in the Island

Domesticated

A tamed Apis Queen will lay new drone eggs, and construct a nest that survivors can farm for honey, so long as they remember to wear specialized bee-keeping gear. Said honey is not only sweet and delicious, but laced with scents that land mammals find irresistible. Many hunters use it to bait their traps. Apis Drones will also follow their Queen into battle, so they can be used for self-defense in a pinch.

Behavior

  • Territorial - will attack anything that approaches their hive
  • Queens spawn drone bees to defend the hive
  • Drones will sting multiple times (no barb like real bees)

  • Queens can despawn shortly after spawning and turning into a hive
  • Drones have limited lifespan and may die off randomly
