How can I catch a golden bee?
The Bee Guy says he'll give me an even bigger reward for a Golden Bee. Is there a specific place these bees appear or a certain thing I need to do? Is the reward more rupees or an item?
Solution 1:
The Golden Bee appears randomly (1/50 chance). Your best bet is to just keep slamming into trees and cutting grass and bushes until it appears. The Golden Bee is differentiated by a golden glow surrounding it, as well as being stronger and tougher than a regular bee.
If you don't want to catch one, you can purchase one from several vendors in Lorule.
- Skull Woods: The Mysterious Man in the cave will sell you one for 888 Rupees.
- Various regular vendors in Lorule sell one for 9999 Rupees.
I don't recommend buying one, as the cost dwarfs the reward:
The Bee Guy will pay 300 Rupees for each Golden Bee, as well as give you the
Bee Badgefor the first Golden Bee you turn in. The badge makes all bees friendly to you and they will attack enemies (just as if you let the bee out of your bottle!).
Solution 2:
Later on in the dark world in NorthWestern edge of the map (Skull Woods) you will be able to buy it for 880 rupees from the guy in the cave.
Another mention is that you can catch the golden bee in Kakariko village. After obtaining the net from the bee guy you just go cutting grass and bushes around.
You will get an item (bee badge), which makes bees attack enemies onscreen when you find them.
