What the Bee Cannon Does

The Bee Cannon is a ranged weapon that fires bee-themed projectiles. It is one of the mod's signature tools and is useful both for combat and for some interactions in the dimension.

Crafting It

Open your recipe viewer and search "Bee Cannon" to see the exact ingredients — it uses Bumblezone materials such as honey products and bee-related components. Gather those first; most require you to have spent time with bees and honey production.

Using It

  • Aim and fire like a bow or crossbow; it launches its projectile in the direction you face.
  • It is effective against hostile mobs and the Bee Queen encounter.
  • Keep ammo on hand — check what projectile it consumes and stock up before a fight.

Practical Tips

  • Pair it with a melee weapon so you are not caught reloading in close range.
  • Test it in a safe area first to learn its arc and cooldown.
  • If you are doing the Bee Queen fight, the Bee Cannon is a strong ranged option alongside a bow.

Related Gear

The Crystal Cannon is a similar ranged tool with a different projectile; if you prefer its behavior, craft that instead and compare damage and ammo cost.
