Bee Gun

The Bee Gun is a gun that fires Bees. Its base damage is 7 magic damage. The Bee gun is obtained from the Queen Bee. It uses mana to fire. The weapon is particularly strong against bosses.

At a first glance, the weapon feels weak as it has a low base damage, However, it shoots between 1 and 4 bees each time it is fired. Moreover, upon testing, the bees bounce 3 times before expiring and home in on enemies within their line of sight. This makes it effective against flying enemies/bosses and also in dungeons. The bees do not, however, home in on aquatic enemies because of their inability to enter water.

A good tactic against bosses is to get in an enclosed room and fire bees before even summoning the boss. The bees will bounce off walls and you'll have a small army of bees waiting for the boss. This tactic isn't good against fast bosses since the bees won't be able to catch up to the boss before he leaves the room. This is an easy way to kill bosses like skeletron pre-hardmode.

However, like natural bees, they do not enter water or lava and will expire on upon entering either of them, although they can still enter honey.
