As you climb up the various ledges of PEAK, you'll eventually come across a jungle biome that spawns an abundance of different foods from bananas to honey, but certain creatures stand in your way.
Bees, for example, have become pretty notorious. If you even get close to one of their hives, you'll be chased down by them and they will slowly chip away at your stamina and health, inflicting poison damage. Players have had a pretty hard time losing them due to their speed, though there is a way to deal with them. Somewhat.
How to escape Bees in PEAK
If you even get close to a hive, bees will begin to chase you in PEAK near instantly. You can use this opportunity to let your friends grab the hive for any food or achievements you are after, but once the bees are chasing you, be prepared to be on the run for a while.
When I was testing this, the bees seemed to chase me for a random period of time at varying speeds. Sometimes they'd chase me for up to 30 seconds, but they were slow, so I could run away, whereas other times they were insanely fast and lasted for what seemed to be forever. There's no telling which one you will encounter, but it feels like bees are a bit bugged, at least from what I could tell.
And even then, it feels like sometimes bees would disappear randomly, too.
So, how I deal with them is pretty simple: if one is chasing me, I tend not to climb, as climbing is slow and bees chip away at me while I'm climbing, leading to my death. Instead I run around a large area where possible in circles, keeping my distance until I ever get far enough away from the bees that they give up, or they randomly despawn or get stuck inside a rock due to a glitch (yes, this has happened to me more times than I like to admit.)
Once I had a bee follow me for what felt like way too long, only for them to disappear, and when I went back to the hive, there were no bees on it, so I took it and ran on the off chance they'd spawn back. It was a good day.
So to sum it all up, if bees chase you, pray you have enough space to run around until they give up and create distance from them to de-aggro. Hope it helps!
