The Beehive Club is one of the more unique weapons in Crimson Desert, allowing you to unleash a swarm of bees on your foes. While it can’t be upgraded or fitted with Abyss Cores like the Soul Spear, players initially found it effective against bosses. Although it has been toned down since launch, it remains a fun option for those who appreciate a bee-themed attack and still delivers decent damage.
Acquiring the Beehive Club isn’t straightforward, as it’s a random drop. However, here’s the best way to increase your chances.
As the name suggests, you can obtain the Beehive Club by breaking beehives found hanging from trees in various areas. While you can take down any hive you encounter with your bow, the prime locations I discovered are near a mushroom patch at Three Saints’ Falls, located north of Hernand, right between the “Three Saints” and “Falls” labels. Additionally, there are a few hives in the trees around Pollengarth Apiary, south of your Howling Hill camp in the Hernand Highlands.
Although you can’t enhance the Beehive Club with Abyss Gears, its unique feature is that striking enemies releases a swarm of bees that inflict damage over time. While this ability has been nerfed due to its previous effectiveness against bosses, it still provides solid damage in the early game. The downside is its limited durability of 30, meaning it will break after 30 hits, requiring you to hunt for another one.
If you find yourself getting swarmed by bees, you can snag a Beekeeping Suit from the shack at Pollengarth Apiary. Additionally, if you follow the Hernand faction questlines, there’s a quest at the apiary for House Grace where you’ll take down a bear that loves honey, rewarding you with a Beekeeping Suit that grants immunity to bee attacks.
Just a heads up, I’ve already tried smashing all the hives in the apiary, and unfortunately, they don’t drop the Beehive Club—only the wild hanging hives will yield that prize.
