Queen Bee

"The matriarch of jungle hives..."

The 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 is immune to the Confused debuff, and can inflict the Poisoned debuff.

While Queen Bee is alive, music Boss 4 will play.

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.
 * 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 positioning herself to swoop in at the player from above.
 * Strangely, although being able to inflict the Poisoned debuff, Queen Bee is not immune to it herself.
 * 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. However, standing in Honey will slow down the player, so it's best not to be in for too long.
 * The Bees do little damage, but can easily become an annoyance as they can push the player around. If the player doesn't have a Cobalt Shield or Obsidian Shield to avoid knockback, any grappling hook can be used to anchor the player to blocks.
 * Well placed Platforms and using Shurikens makes killing the Queen Bee fairly easy.
 * Using a Thorn Chakram or Blade of Grass can poison her, and can kill her easily. Coincidentally, you can obtain the materials to craft these weapons in the Jungle, which is where Queen Bee is located.
 * Water Bolt is very effective at taking down the Queen Bee as the Bee Hive is shaped for the projectiles to bounce around a easily.
 * The Bezoar is very useful as it negates the Poisoned debuff, which the Queen Bee causes very often, especially in Expert mode.
 * The Queen Bee can be easily farmed for Gold Coins because it's relatively high amount of Gold Coins and easiness to make an Abeemination and beat the Queen Bee.

Trivia

 * The Queen Bee has the largest number of unique drops of any boss in the game at 15, tied with Plantera.
