Queen Bee

"The matriarch of jungle hives."

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.

Attacks
The Queen Bee has three distinct attack patterns:


 * She will level herself horizontally with the player and fly back and forth three times in an attempt to ram the player.
 * She will spawn 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.
 * In Expert Mode, the lower her health is, the faster she'll do these attack patterns. This is most notable with her first attack, where she charges super quickly at ~1/10 HP

Tips

 * The Honey naturally found in Bee Hives can be used to craft Bottled Honey or provide passive health regeneration mid-fight, but be careful to avoid being knocked into it.
 * The bees do little damage, but can easily become an annoyance as they can push the player around. In the case that you don't have a Cobalt Shield or Obsidian Shield yet to avoid knockback, any Grappling Hooks can be used to anchor yourself to blocks.

Trivia

 * The theme music is the same as the music on consoles and mobile when fighting the Eye of Cthulhu or Ocram.
 * As of 1.2.4, the Queen Bee has the most unique drops of any boss in the game, with 14.
 * In Expert Mode all of the queen bee's drops are contained in the Treasure Bag.
 * Queen Bee is one of the four bosses that have an explicitly stated gender (the other three being Moon Lord, King Slime and Duke Fishron).
