Worker Bee — Detailed Guide
A removed Primitive Plus resource
The Worker Bee was a resource in the Primitive Plus DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved, described in game as "A worker bee produces honey and is the offspring of a queen and drone." It is no longer in the game: the ARK Wiki keeps its page for historical reasons and says it was removed in version 258.0, when the 
Giant Bee was added to the core game. The apiary went away with that patch too, on May 30, 2017.
How the Apiary bred Worker Bees
Worker Bees came from pairing a 
Queen Bee with a 
Drone Bee in the Apiary. As long as it held at least 1 of each, every 2 minutes it turned out 20 Worker Bees along with 14 Drone Bees. Our records show the same pairing as a recipe: 1 Queen Bee and 1 Drone Bee give 20 Worker Bees after 120 seconds.
Beeswax and Honey
The bees were then used up to make wax and honey. Every 5 minutes, with 7 or more Worker Bees inside, the Apiary consumed 7 of them and produced 1 Beeswax and 1 Honey. Holding more bees did not raise that output. Our database lists Beeswax as the one recipe that uses them. Since the removal, the wiki says, Beeswax has to be taken from the giant beehives that sit mostly in the redwood biome.
Weight and stacking
A Worker Bee weighs 0.1 and they stack to 200, for a full stack weight of 20.
