Sometimes, the mine can trigger while in a Chest, Backpack, or even the inventory without being placed.There are a couple of ways to deal with killer bees without losing significant health and still getting the resources that come from killing them:įirst, the easiest way to defeat Killer Bees is to use a Bug Net.Multiple Bee Mines can cause render lag as they are constantly pulsating.Sometimes the Bee Mine will simply disappear when placed.The Bee Mine might be a pun on the phrase "Be mine.".Sometimes two Bee Mines will spawn next to a Skeleton as a Set Piece.In the old science research system, its research cost was 100.The Bee Mine was added in the The Birds and the Bees & Dogs That Want to Kill You update.Catching them counts as aggression, and if there were others nearby assisting against the bomb target, those will attack the player, too.īees, Killer Bees, Butterflies, Batilisks, Mosquitoes, and Shadow Creatures cannot activate Bee Mines.

Placed Bee Mines can be hammered, but smashing a Bee Mine with a Hammer serves no real purpose other than unleashing a swarm of angry bees on the player. That being the case, they will fall asleep if released at night or in Caves once they aren't aggressive anymore. Bees from a triggered mine will not target the player, since they conform to regular Bee behavior. When a creature comes near enough to the Bee Mine, it explodes, spawning four regular Bees who are aggressive to whomever/whatever triggered the mine. If a player has mines in a Cave and dies, the mines will disarm themselves and must be set again. If spawned via Console, the Bee Mine will be armed. Once placed, the mine will arm in about a second with an animation showing bee stingers jutting out of the device's holes.
