Queen Bee taming not working

[Raggedy Annie]

I can not tame the bees at all. There is never a prompt to feed them once you get them out of the hive.

You need bug repellant now, or the option to feed will not appear. Also, even if you have bug repellant, you cannot touch the queen at all or it will not tame.

Ah right. I thought taming was broken and had to use forcetame. I know what to do now, thanks. :)

I thought this was a Terraria post for a second.
Yeah bug repellent is what you need like the other guy said.

Also a good idea to use gillie suit.

If you don't have access to those items you can still tame one. I just ran up to it and spammed E until it ate the raw prime I was using. The adds she spawns seem to take a bit longer to attack than in ASE, I never got hit once while wearing cloth (super early game) which was great.

Queen bee is tamed by prime meat now? not rare flowers?

You can use rare flowers, but it appears that prime, mutton, and kibble are all better now.
