Terraria: Where to Find and How to Defeat the Queen Bee

Terraria is one of my favorite 2D Side scroller adventure games, filled with loads of bosses and cool gear! The boss that we are going to focus on today is none other than Terraria’s Queen Bee. Now, the Queen Bee could be pretty difficult to find and defeat, even for some of the most experienced players. This is simply because before you enter into Hard Mode in Terraria, your access to decent weapons is fairly limited. You have to use strategy over firepower. Keep reading below to learn where to find the Queen Bee in Terraria, how to defeat her, and even what kind of cool items she will drop!

Where to Find the Queen Bee in Terraria

Where you find the Queen Bee will all depend on your specific map. Each map is built differently and has different combinations of biomes, each in different locations. To find the Queen Bee in Terraria, you have to have a decent idea of where each biome is in your specific world. To find the Queen Bee, you will have to dig through the jungle biome and search for the Queen Bee’s hive. This will be marked by a honey-soaked orange outer honeycomb surrounding a hollow burnt-orange area.
