Once returned to the player's position, they can be set to neutral to guard any mounts or other tamed dinos while the player is occupied with the long-chase process of taming the queen bee. Once the hive is broken and the queen is exposed, they can be whistled to passive and brought back, without harming the queen or drawing the attention of drones so long as they are called back quickly enough. Being flyers, a small swarm of Dimorphodons can easily reach and quickly break open any hive when whistled to attack it, without angering the drones, provided the player keeps a far enough distance away while they do this.

One very effective method to gain access to a queen is to use Dimorphodons as they are extremely efficient for breaking open bee hives and aiding in the taming of the queen, arguably more so than using firearms or explosives. Sometimes the queen gets stuck in the tree and will not move from where her hive was destroyed. A quetzal with a platform saddle is the best option due to its high AoE, and you won't be thrown far if your're dismounted. You can use a Quetzal or another flying mount, but be warned, if it gets stung you will get dismounted. The Queen will slowly descend towards the ground where you can begin taming. You can also build a pillar under the hive and place a C4 Charge on top of the pillar to take the hive out in a single blast without having to worry about getting stung. Use a dino or shoot the nest until it breaks. Only occupied hives have a Queen - empty ones just have some honey to harvest every 15 minutes (press E,, on the hive). You can check without damaging the hive however, by staying near it and listening for the sounds the queen makes, as she can be heard beating her wings and occasionally buzzing from inside. If the hive is occupied, a swarm of Giant Bees will come out and attack the person who damaged it.

You have to crack open the hive to get to the queen, then feed it Ichthyornis Kibble or Rare Flowers.
