Giant Queen Bee Egg & Breeding Calculator

After hatching or birth, the baby Giant Queen Bee matures at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

37:02:13

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

46:17:46

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Giant Queen Bee's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Giant Queen Bee babies through all three growth stages. The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Giant Queen Bee raises by totaling food across all babies. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Giant Queen Bee is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It falls within the Farmer classification.

With 200 base Stamina, the Giant Queen Bee has moderate endurance. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Giant Queen Bee has respectable melee power. Health-wise, the Giant Queen Bee sits at 80 base, making it glass-cannon fragile. Weight capacity starts at 150, giving it modest carrying capacity.

The Giant Queen Bee is passively tamed - approach it carefully and feed it by hand without knocking it out. Its preferred food is Raw Mutton.

Once tamed, the Giant Queen Bee is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. Killing a wild Giant Queen Bee yields 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
