Bees in Arc Raiders is one of those tiny quests that is shockingly literal. Players are sent to Blue Gate to check whether the bees have returned. The task is simple and quick once the hive location is known.
Start by opening the map and heading to the Olive Grove in South Blue Gate. It sits directly south of the central Checkpoint. Zoom in if the marker does not appear right away. Once in the grove, move to the east side. The hive is inside a shed-like structure with wire-mesh walls and a corrugated-metal roof. As you get close, you should hear buzzing. The hive hangs from the ceiling on the right side of the entrance. Interact with the hive to “snag some bees“. The bees do not register as an inventory item. That interaction alone completes the Bees’ quest, so you can head straight for exfil after you have it.
Watch the area for enemies. The Olive Grove is a popular spot for resources like lemons, apricots, and olives, and you may run into roaming enemies such as the Leaper or patrolling Rocketeers while you search. For more map tips and where to grind resources, see the best ARC Raiders maps for quests and items guide. If you miss the hive on your first pass, listen for the buzz and recheck the shed entrance. The hive is visually apparent once you are standing at the right angle but can be obscured by foliage or other map clutter.
