Smicknasty Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Taming bees in the trees on official I’ve been trying for a few hours now, and this is rather difficult to say the least. If you manage to find an unabandoned nest in a good location that you can build a platform nearby to shoot. The bee just flys away. You can’t grip them with stalkers, and from what i hear they aren’t feedable when trapped. Is that last part true? Any tips on how to tame these on Genesis would be greatly appreciated.

caleb68 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 we had a different problem, 6 rockets to 1 hive and it still didn't break, on the other maps 1 rocket does the trick. Haven't seen anyone with a hive yet on Genesis of the friendly tribes. (official pve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luizza Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 We and many other tribes on our server have been trying for days, it's almost impossible on official. Honey or hives should be added to HLNA. Someone on our server did manage to tame one by luck but then it despawned for no reason in their base. They got theirs by building a trap up from the ground to the hive and were lucky the queen bugged out and got trapped within another hive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smicknasty Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Wow, okay so i’m not crazy, and getting honey in general is rediculously hard on Genesis. I’m going to hold off for now in hopes the devs make a change. Not sure they even thought this bee’s at the top of trees thing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjskdjkfa Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 PLEASE REMOVE WHAT I JUST GOT FROM TIER 1 LOOT CRATE (twenty raptoring chitin and a few rare flowers) AND INSTEAD PUT IN A BEE HIVE! that'd fix us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocicat Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Tamed 4 bees today (actually 7 but three were meshed on tame ). Basically build a trap around them, destroy the hive and tame the bee. I was using regular kibble (simple is all that's needed) and on 2x it only takes 1 so it's instant tamed. Was using bug spray as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smicknasty Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Good to know. Ill attempt to build a trap around them and post the results. This will still be tedious i’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclops Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 The problem is you can't build by some hives due to mission area or other players structures. The bee hives are spawning over each other. I had 8 hives in one spot with no bees in them. I agree that either they fix the hives or add honey to HLNA. It's a critical ingredient for some kibble and recipes.

Likeitis Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Tamed 3 on official one got anti meshed destroyed. Like others said build a wooden box around it. Make sure to destroy the structure afterwards, so you don't block spawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smicknasty Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 Alright after building two wooden structures i can confirm that the taming is broken. If you tamed any you are lucky. Both of my traps were decent sized and successfully trapped the queens. The queens were not tamable. No message ever appeared and they just kept flying into the wall until they despawned. Again, if you tamed one, you got lucky. I’m going to keep attempting this as they seem to respawn even with the structures nearby(which also goes against a previous comment). Wild card needs to rethink bee taming on genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeloniousAssault Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Has anyone tried using a skiff to tame a giant bee? I will test this method and report my findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anticold Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I tamed a bee solo, found one that spawned at the base of a branch, built around it and destroyed it with a sword. Was pretty straight forward and easy if I’m honest. Official pve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smicknasty Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 I actually tamed two bees the other day, and it was because i found an easily accessable beehive. That is the key! Also, if the bee won’t let you feed, walk away, but not out of render range, and come back in about 30 seconds. They reset and allowed me to feed! Sopd the second bee for a high level ferox so aparently they’re a pain in the u no what for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
