How to tame a Giant Bee in ARK Survival Ascended

A cluster of an Apis Queen and its drones is collectively known as the Giant Bee in ARK Survival Ascended. The Queen is generally at the center of this entity, surrounded by smaller bees called Drones. This entity is territorial and will attack anyone if their beehive is destroyed. Taming it is essentially taming just the Apis Queen, as the Drones are untameable.

The Apis Queen requires a non-violent taming method, which necessitates a Ghillie Suit, Bug Repellant, a tamed Tapejara, a trap, and a preferred food item that can complete the taming process. The complexity of this process arises from the amount of setup necessary just to be able to feed this Queen Bee.

Use one of the following food items to tame an Apis Queen in ARK Survival Ascended:

• Simple Kibble
• Raw Mutton
• Cooked Lamb Chop
• Raw Prime Meat
• Rare Flower
• Cooked Prime Meat
• Raw Prime Fish Meat
• Raw Meat
• Cooked Prime Fish Meat
• Cooked Meat
• Raw Fish Meat
• Cooked Fish Meat

Simple Kibble is the optimal food item to tame an Apis Queen, followed by Raw Mutton and Rare Flowers. These food items require the lowest taming duration and quantity for this process.

Here are the steps required to tame an Apis Queen in ARK Survival Ascended:

• Destroying a beehive requires a flying tame like a Tapejara, as they are located on high cliffs or redwood trees.
• Build a trap using four foundations, eight door frames equipped with doors, and a giant hatchframe featuring a trap door. This contraption is necessary as the homeless Queen Bee permanently wanders around, making it impossible to tame it.
• To lure the Apis Queen into your trap, you will require Giant Bee Honey, which you can procure from the beehive.
• Once you have lured the Apis Queen into your trap, use the Ghillie Armor and Bug Repellent to approach it while avoiding being attacked by its menagerie of hostile Drones.
• With the preferred food item equipped on the far-right slot of your hotbar, you can feed the Apis Queen following a feeding prompt. This will complete the taming process.
