Just tried to raid a beehive. Last world i'd done it with my main char and figured out they do insane damage (20-30 SHP per hit with 100% armor penetration) and a couple hundred health (Survived a 300 damage cleave.) so i knew i couldn't kill them. So i started, got them on me, and ran away, kiting them, ran back, started raiding it, same way you'd do to an Anthill.
And i tried four times, every time you try to raid it spawns another 2-3 bee swarms. What the heck? How are you supposed to raid these? You need the larva to make bee skeps so i wanted to gather some up early, but i have no idea how.
