Bee armor

The Bee Armor is the only pre-hardmode summoning gear out there, so you probably want to get your hands on this set. Wearing the full set of armor increases minion capacity by 2, so 3 can be spawned at a time. The armor bonus is extra minion damage, 23% more total. This exquisite armor is crafted from Bee Wax, a drop from the Queen Bee. You might have to summon her 2-3 times to acquire the whole set.
