How to get the Beehive Club in Crimson Desert

The Beehive Club is one of Crimson Desert's weirder weapons, letting you envelop your enemies in a cloud of bees. Similar to the Soul Spear, you can't upgrade or slot Abyss Cores into it, but players were initially using it to annihilate bosses. It seems to have been nerfed since the game's release, but it's still a fun weapon (if you like bees) and does alright damage.

There's no guaranteed way to get the Beehive Club, since it's a random drop, but I'll run through your best bet below.

As the name implies, you can get the Beehive Club as a random drop from smashing beehives you see hanging from trees in various locations. While you can destroy any while out exploring using your bow, the best spots I found were by a mushroom patch at Three Saints' Falls, north of Hernand, literally in between the "Three Saints" and the "Falls" text next to it. There are also a couple of hives in the trees around Pollengarth Apiary to the south of your Howling Hill camp, in the Hernand Highlands.

Though you can't enhance it in any way, such as by adding Abyss Gears, what makes the Beehive Club special is that when you smack enemies with it, the club releases a cloud of bees that do DoT damage. While this has seemingly been nerfed because it was murdering bosses, it'll still do decent damage in the early game. The only drawback is that the club only has 30 durability, meaning it'll only work for 30 attacks before it breaks and you have to go back to smashing hives to find a new one.

If you're struggling with bees attacking you as well (they can be unpredictable like that), remember you can steal a Beekeeping Suit from the shack in the Pollengarth Apiary. If you pursue the Hernand faction questlines, there's also a quest at the apiary for House Grace which sees you kill a honey-hungry bear and get a Beekeeping Suit as your reward. This suit gives you immunity to bee attacks.

Before you get any ideas, though, I already tried smashing all the hives in the apiary and they sadly don't drop the Beehive Club—only the wild hanging hives will work.
