Queen Bee

The Queen Bee is a Boss summoned by breaking the Larva inside Bee Hives of the Underground Jungle, or using an Abeemination anywhere within the Jungle. She is immune to the Confused debuff.

Beehavior
The Queen Bee has three distinct attack patterns.


 * She will level herself with the player and fly back and forth repeatedly in an attempt to ram the player.
 * She spawns bees while hovering, which attack the player.
 * Similar to Hornets, the Queen Bee will rapidly fire poisonous stingers at the player. During this pattern, she will alternate between hovering above the player, and swooping at them.

Tips

 * Multi-hit, piercing magic, such as Water Bolt or Book of Skulls, or piercing ranged attacks, such as Meteor Shot, are very effective against the Queen Bee especially during her second attack pattern.
 * The bees do little damage, but can easily become an annoyance as they can push the player around if a Cobalt Shield or Obsidian Shield isn't equipped. Another annoyance if that they will prevent natural regeneration if they keep attacking. The bees can be killed, and have a chance of dropping a heart or a star. A Crimson Rod can be extremely useful for both destroying the bees and doing a steady trickle of damage to the Queen Bee.
 * In the case that you don't have a Shield yet to avoid knockback, any Grappling Hooks can be used to anchor yourself to blocks. A multi-grapple is superior for this, allowing you to position yourself in midair.
 * Equipping a Bezoar can eliminate the residual effects from the poisonous stingers.
 * Using an item that deals damage when you take hits, such as a Thorns Potion or Honey Comb that drops from the Queen herself, along with high defense, can make the boss easy to kill.
 * Because the Abeemination can be crafted by hand, and uses items in great abundance; it is possible to quickly repeatedly summon and kill her. Honey Combs are worth 2 gold each, Bee Guns are worth 3 gold, and she drops 10 gold on death. Setting up a Safe and Piggy Bank in your arena will let you collect more of these items.

Trivia

 * The theme music is the same as the music on consoles and mobile when fighting the Eye of Cthulhu or Ocram.
