No shortcut to Bee Knight???
For me, Bee Knight is the most difficult boss so far.

There is one chair in the hive, but the path to the boss is too far

and so many bees interrupt platforming

In the end, I don't have full health when I reach the boss.

I got shadow dash, but it doesn't help at all.

Is there any shortcut??

Some people are talking about Dream Gate(?) which maybe I didn't acquired...

To get it, find 900 essence and go back to Seer. If you need more essence, find some dream warriors or go back and fight dream bosses.
You can fight a more powerful version of the False Knight, Broken Vessel, and Soul Master if you return to their boss rooms and look for their corpses.
These bosses are pretty hard though, and it seems like you're just trying to beat the Hive Knight right now... so if you don't want to spend a while on one boss to make another easier, try your best on the Hive Knight right now and go back for Dreamgate later.

Go back to some bosses and dream nail them. Then go have a chat with Seer.

You must gather the 900 essence points to acquire the Dream Gate.

You are actually right you can jump up when he attacks and the bees aren't such a problem if you have the right upgrades.

Not bees in boss battle
the others in the path to the boss
I almost went mad...

The long way was abit annoying, especially the big bees. At some point you should have a strategy of how to go through there.. but its like 3 big rooms(there was one small hidden shortcut at the mask shard, you should have that one unlocked by making a big bee hit the wall)
also i just did the fight and i found it also readable and not too hard. Attacks were quite similar and it felt like he only had one attack with his dashes. The thorns he threw were always welcome, if you position right it is definetely a free heal. Broken Vessel for example i thought of as alot harder and alot more going on(and this is my first playthrough, b4 anyone complains). So if you feel like you make progress, you should continue the boss, I think. You will get there for sure

dude, this discussion is four years old. @Bob Page probably doesn't even pay attention to hollow knight steam discussions anymore
