Queen Bee

Queen Bee is a pre-Hardmode boss. She is summoned by breaking the Larva inside Bee Hives of the Underground Jungle, or by using an Abeemination anywhere within the Jungle. She can inflict the Poisoned debuff.

Attacks
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 will include larger ones in Expert mode), which attack the player. During this time the variables for how many bees she summons could be 6, 12 or 18.
 * Similar to Hornets, Queen Bee will rapidly fire poisonous stingers at the player. During this pattern, she will alternate between hovering above the player, and positioning herself to swoop in at the player from above.

In, the speed of these attacks increases as Queen Bee takes damage.

When fought outside of the Underground Jungle, Queen Bee enrages, causing her movements to be more aggressive and firing stingers at a much faster rate.

When fought on the Surface Jungle, Queen Bee will still enter an enrage state with faster and more aggressive attacks. However, this enrage state is less aggressive than if the player were to fight her in any other surface biome, such as the Ocean.

Tips

 * The Honey naturally found in Bee Hives can be used to craft Bottled Honey or provide passive health regeneration mid-fight. However, standing in Honey will slow down the player.
 * The Bees do little damage, but can easily become an annoyance as they can push the player around. If the player does not have a Cobalt Shield or Obsidian Shield to avoid knockback, any grappling hook can be used to anchor the player to blocks.
 * On the, in Classic difficulty, a spinning Flail is sufficient to kill any incoming Bees before they can reach the player.
 * On the, Bees will target other enemies if they are closer than the player and can thus be distracted with statue spawned mobs or other trapped monsters.
 * In Expert and Master Mode, Bees are much tougher and can easily kill the player if ignored.
 * The Lightning Aura sentry summons and the Explosive Trap sentry summons can easily kill the bees if the player is near them.
 * Queen Bee can be a viable source of money, dropping upon death and being comparably simple to summon.
 * On the, Queen Bee is part of the same enemy group as the Bees spawned from Beehives and mining Hive blocks, and will damage and take damage from most other enemies.
 * Queen Bee will only actively target players, however.
 * Queen Bee should be farmed by summoner class players to craft a set of Bee armor, which is the only pre-Hardmode summoner armor set.
 * The Obsidian armor is a better choice for summoners looking to focus on whips.
 * If you time a dash well enough with the Shield of Cthulhu, the Queen Bee's ramming attack can be blocked.

Trivia

 * Queen Bee has the largest number of drops of any pre-Hardmode boss in the game at 15. Furthermore, she has the second-most drops of any boss, surpassed only by Plantera (a boss that is also spawned in the Underground Jungle), who has 16.
 * If the player moves too far from the Queen Bee, she will charge until she reaches them.
 * Strangely, although being able to inflict the Poisoned debuff, Queen Bee is not immune to it.
 * Although rare, it is possible to obtain the from Queen Bee if she is defeated after one of the Mechanical Bosses has been killed.
 * The 1.2 concept art of Queen Bee looked vastly different than the actual sprite that was implemented, and more resembled a Hornet compared to the final sprite.
 * Queen Bee is the only boss that cannot be fought an infinite number of times per world, due to her summons being non-renewable. There is a limited number of both larvae to directly summon the boss and Hive blocks to craft the Abeemination.
 * This does not apply in, as Hive Blocks can be infinitely duplicated once 100 of them are mined and researched, and on average a Beehive can provide more than enough to meet this requirement.
 * It is also renewable on the seed celebrationmk10, as the Jungle Mimic's "stuff cannon" attack can give the player an infinite amount of both Honey Blocks and Hive Blocks.
 * Queen Bee is one of the 7 bosses with exclusive music, the others being Queen Slime, Empress of Light, Moon Lord, Plantera, Duke Fishron, and Deerclops. However, the -exclusive boss Ocram reuses her music. On older updates of the, as well as on the , the Eye of Cthulhu also reuses her music.
