The Hive Pack is a pre-Hardmode accessory that, when equipped, grants a 1/2 (50%) chance of replacing friendly Bee projectiles with larger "Giant Bees".^[1] The Hive Pack is always dropped from the Queen Bee's Treasure Bag in Expert Mode.

Notes

These Giant Bees gain the following boosts:
- Giant Bees always deal 1–3 extra damage and a knockback of 0.5 (Extremely weak), as opposed to a normal Bee's 1/2 (50%) chance to have 1 bonus damage.^[2]
- Giant Bees can pierce enemies and ricochet off tiles for a total of three times instead of two, last 11 seconds instead of 10, and fly noticeably faster.^[3]
It also allows the Bee Gun, Bee Keeper, Honey Comb, and its derivative accessories an extra 1/3 (33.33%) chance to summon an additional bee projectile when used.
It also increases the firing rate of the Hornet Staff minions by 22.2%, and increases the damage and armor penetration of the Wasp Gun by 5.^[4]
Like normal bees, Giant Bees will still dissipate immediately on contact with water or lava.
The Hive Pack will benefit the following bee-related items:
