To get rid of bees in Burglin Gnomes, do not waste time shooting the hive or marble object. The useful trick is to pick bees off other gnomes, then throw them onto another target.

How To Get Rid Of Bees In Burglin Gnomes

The best way to deal with bees in Burglin Gnomes is to pull them off another gnome and throw them at a better target. Bees are not handled like a normal enemy you simply shoot until they disappear. They are more of a moving problem you redirect.

If a bee is stuck on a teammate or another gnome, get close, pick it off, then throw it away from your group. The safest targets are durable or distracting characters, especially the buff gnome with the boombox. You can also throw bees at the old man, which gives him the confused effect.

Bee Problem	Best Fix
Bee stuck on a gnome	Pick it off and throw it away.
Too many bees near the group	Redirect them onto another target.
Need a target to absorb bees	Throw them at the buff gnome with the boombox.
Need to mess with the old man	Throw a bee at him to confuse him.

The main thing is to stop treating bees like something you delete instantly. Burglin Gnomes wants you to handle them like tiny flying disasters with a grab-and-throw solution.

How To Pick Bees Off Other Gnomes

When a bee latches onto another gnome, move close to that gnome and use the pickup or interact action to pull the bee off. Once you are holding the bee, throw it toward a safer target or away from the team.

This works best when one player focuses on bee cleanup instead of everyone panicking and scattering. If everyone runs in different directions, the bees become harder to manage and the level falls apart fast.

Step	What To Do
1	Look for the gnome with a bee attached.
2	Move close to that gnome.
3	Use the pickup or interact action to grab the bee.
4	Turn toward a safer target.
5	Throw the bee away from your group.

If the bee is already causing chaos, do not chase every objective first. Clear the bee, then keep moving. Leaving bees attached while trying to finish the level is how day three turns into a tiny insect crime scene.

Where To Throw Bees

The best target for thrown bees is the buff gnome with the boombox. He can take the pressure better than your regular gnomes, so throwing bees at him gives your group more space to work.

This does not mean bees become harmless. It just moves the problem to something better suited to tank it. That is still a win when the alternative is your whole group getting stalled by one angry bug.

Throw Target	Why It Helps
Buff gnome with boombox	Good target for soaking bee pressure.
Old man	Can be hit with bees to apply confusion.
Empty space away from your team	Useful if no better target is nearby.

If you are in co-op, call out before throwing bees near the team. Nothing ruins a run faster than “I helped” followed by someone launching a bee directly into the group like a cursed dodgeball.

Using Bees On The Old Man

You can throw bees at the old man in Burglin Gnomes. When it works, the bee gives him the confused effect, which can buy your group a little breathing room.

This is useful when the old man is blocking progress or making the situation worse. Instead of only running from the bees, you can turn them into a tool against him.

Target	Effect	Best Use
Old man	Confused effect	Use when he is nearby and causing trouble.
Buff gnome	Bee pressure gets redirected	Use when your team needs room to move.

The old man trick is especially helpful because it turns an annoying hazard into a small advantage. It will not magically solve the whole level, but it can stop one bad bee spawn from ending the run immediately.

What Does Not Seem To Work On Bees

Shooting the hive or marble-looking object does not seem to be the reliable solution for bees. Players have tried using the marble gun on the hive, but that does not appear to remove the bee problem by itself.

The slingshot and fart potions are also not the main confirmed answer here. They may help with other chaos in a run, but the clearest bee strategy is still picking bees off gnomes and throwing them at better targets.

Method	Does It Solve Bees?
Shooting the hive	Does not seem reliable.
Using the marble gun	Does not seem to remove bees by itself.
Waiting and hoping	Bad idea. The bees usually make things worse.
Picking bees off gnomes	Yes, this is the useful method.

If you were trying to brute force the hive with a gun, that is probably why it felt broken. The gun has its own uses, but bees are more about handling and throwing than shooting. If you are still figuring out weapons, the Burglin Gnomes gun guide covers how to get one.

Best Co-Op Bee Strategy

In co-op, assign one player to bee cleanup whenever bees start ruining the run. That player should stay close enough to pull bees off teammates, while the others keep working on the main objective.

This is much better than having every player stop what they are doing. Bees are annoying because they create panic. The counter is having one person calmly deal with them while the rest of the team keeps the level moving.

Role	Job
Bee cleaner	Pull bees off teammates and throw them away.
Objective players	Keep looting, moving, or finishing the level task.
Distraction player	Lead danger away if the group gets overwhelmed.

If you are playing with friends, this is where communication matters. Say who has a bee, where the buff gnome is, and when you are throwing one. Burglin Gnomes is already chaotic enough without the team creating its own workplace safety incident.

If you are still setting up multiplayer, the Burglin Gnomes co-op guide explains how many players can play together.

Bee Survival Tips

The easiest way to survive bees is to deal with them early. Do not wait until multiple gnomes are covered, the old man is nearby, and everyone is screaming over each other. One bee is manageable. Three bees during a bad objective push is a disaster.

Tip	Why It Helps
Remove bees quickly	Stops one bee from turning into a run-ending mess.
Throw bees at durable targets	Keeps fragile gnomes safer.
Use bees on the old man	Can confuse him and create space.
Do not tunnel vision the hive	Shooting it does not seem to be the real answer.
Call out bee throws in co-op	Prevents teammates from running into your throw.

Bees are awful because they punish slow reactions. The moment one appears, treat it like a priority hazard, not background noise. Pick it off, throw it somewhere useful, and get back to the actual goal.

Final Blurb

To get rid of bees in Burglin Gnomes, pick them off other gnomes and throw them at safer targets. The buff gnome with the boombox is a good target for soaking bee pressure, and the old man can be hit with bees to give him the confused effect.

Shooting the hive or using the marble gun does not seem to be the real solution. Bees are a grab-and-throw problem. Once that clicks, they are still annoying, but at least they become annoying in a way you can actually control.
