The honeybee lure recipe usually means a swarm lure for beekeeping, and one common homemade version uses bee pheromones absorbed into rubbing alcohol by placing a dead queen bee in a bottle of alcohol, then dabbing the liquid onto cotton swabs for a swarm trap.

Common homemade version

  • Put rubbing alcohol in a bottle.
  • Add a dead queen bee.
  • Crush or break her up gently so the alcohol can absorb the pheromones.
  • Let it sit until you need it.
  • When using it, soak a cotton swab or cotton ball and place it in the swarm trap.

Another recipe

A simpler plant-based lure uses beeswax, olive oil, and lemongrass essential oil. One published recipe uses 2 tablespoons beeswax, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 40 drops lemongrass essential oil, then smears about 1 tablespoon in the back of the hive box.

If you mean the game item

There is also a Palia item called Honeybee Lure , which is a game equipment item that lures bees when placed on the ground.

Safety note

If you mean actual bees, use caution around live hives and follow local beekeeping guidance. If you mean the game item, the steps are different and I can give the exact in-game method.
