Locating Beehives in the Redwoods

In the Redwoods of Ragnarok, the usual spawn points for beehives may present issues, with hives not appearing on trees as expected. To locate the elusive hives, utilize a Tek Helmet if available.

This piece of equipment allows easy spotting of beehives through the dense forest canopy, but sometimes, even with a dino wipe and patience, beehives may fail to spawn.

Solving the Beehive Problem

Check the area with a Dino Finder tool. This device will reveal the presence of Queen Bees on your map. Some reliable coordinates for finding beehives include 25.40° and 30.2°, 26.00°.

Pay close attention to the in-game audio; setting SFX to maximum volume will help you hear the distinctive buzzing of bees, making the tiny hives easier to locate. Often, hives are hidden within rocks rather than hanging from trees, so search these formations carefully.

Requirements for Taming a Giant Queen Bee

Before attempting to tame a Giant Queen Bee, ensure your inventory includes a full set of Ghillie Armor (a spare set is highly recommended), Bug Repellent, and Simple Kibble (to be placed in the last slot of your hotbar)

Taming Instructions

Eliminate any threats, such as Terror Birds, in the surrounding area before approaching a beehive. Locate a hive that is situated low to the ground to facilitate easy access. Chase the Beehive as necessary to interact with it.

Once subdued, pick up the Beehive and access your inventory. Place the hive down in a secure location.

Harvesting Honey

When you place a new Beehive, put some Rare Flowers inside it to make honey. Honey will slowly come out of the Beehive, giving you a steady amount for crafting and eating.

Owning multiple Beehives can streamline honey collection, making it a straightforward and rewarding process.

Following this process will allow you to efficiently find and tame Queen Bees, secure your own Beehive, and ensure a consistent supply of honey within ARK: Survival Ascended's Ragnarok map.
