In Lethal Company, a Beehive can give you a lot of credits when you sell them, but the question is: is it worth it?
In Lethal Company, your ultimate aim is to collect varied loot from around the moon and sell it to meet the profit quota by the end of the deadline day. Different items give you different amounts of credits when you sell them, but among all, a Beehive will sell at a high value. However, nothing in Lethal Company comes easy. In order to steal a Beehive, you will need to sacrifice the life of a crewmember from your ship. In this guide, we will tell you everything you need to know about stealing Beehives in Lethal Company.
Should you steal a Beehive in Lethal Company?
In the perilous realm of Lethal Company, messing with a beehive is a recklessly lethal endeavor. While there are a lot of ways to protect yourself from bees in the real world, there is no way to protect yourself from the merciless attack from these creatures in the game. You aren’t likely to get any room for recourse due to the ferocious assault.
Beehives sell for 100 credits, which can help you significantly toward meeting the profit quota before the deadline day. While this might seem like a lucrative task to earn a huge chunk of credits, it comes with a great cost as well. While there are different ways to complete this job, you will lose a life no matter which process you go through.
In my opinion, taking up this insane venture is well worth considering. You can earn a lot of credits, as well as get some of the most enthralling experiences of Lethal Company in the process. In a game like Lethal Company, where your objectives are simple and straightforward, adding such a risky spice to the game would not only heighten the tension during gameplay but also give you an immense sense of accomplishment in the end.

How to steal a Beehive in Lethal Company
In order to steal a Beehive in Lethal Company, you must take a crewmate with you. Here, one person must act as bait, while the other takes up the role of a thief. Ultimately, either you or your crewmate will need to sacrifice a life. Before embarking on this daring endeavor, split up your roles and discuss it thoroughly with your crew, as the whole process would require a high level of precision and tact from both sides.
Bees will only attack you if you intrude within their radius. So, knowing how far their radius spreads is important. Once you are aware of their attack range, position the bait on one side of the Beehive and the snatcher must stay on the opposite side. Make sure the snatcher stays the closest to the ship, as he will need to instantly run inside the ship to save himself.
Once both of you are in position, the bait will enter the radius first and make the bees come after him. Once the bees start chasing the bait, he will need to run for his life without getting caught by the bees. To ensure this, make sure none of you are carrying any extra weight that might slow you down while running. Also, scout the nearby areas so you do not get blocked by any unwanted obstacles.
Once the bait reaches a seemingly safer distance from the hive, the snatcher will get into action. Run toward the hive and grab it as fast as you can. Once the hive is in the hands of the snatcher, run toward your ship with everything you have. Although the bees are supposed to be at a good distance, they will most likely turn their attention toward the snatcher rather than chasing down the intruder.
There’s a high chance the bees would mark the snatcher a high-priority target and leave the bait alone. Or, if you’re lucky enough, the bees will still be chasing the bait and make it easier for you to escape with the hive. However, this has never happened when I tried to do that with my friends.
On the other hand, if the bait gets killed while the snatcher is still close to the bees, both of you will die. But if the bait survives, and the bees catch up to the snatcher, make sure to drop the hive as soon as they catch up. There is no way you can tackle the electric shocks sent by these bees, so dropping the hive is the best option.
If you succeed in escaping the bees’ wrath and get into your ship, head directly toward the control panel and hit the button to take off. Your other friend isn’t likely to survive anyway, so sacrificing him is the best choice to ensure your completion of the profit quota.
