“The queen bee will summon her progeny for backup. She's harder to hurt while they're there, so take them out first. Oh, and her swarm can't hit right above or below her!

Eternity Mode Queen Bee is a pre-Hardmode boss. She is a more powerful version of the Queen Bee with more attacks and new behavior.
Behavior
Phase 1
- When firing stingers and summoning Bees, she will repeatedly fire a ring of stingers. (Rings fire more frequently.)
- Stingers fire less frequently. (Stingers fire at normal rate.)
- At 66% health, she will spawn one
Royal Servant, which repeatedly dashes until it is killed. - Under 50% health, Queen Bee enters phase 2.
Phase 2
- Summons a servant at the start of this phase.
- She gains two attacks:
- Sprays a swarm of homing
Bees all around her. The only spots safe from the Bee swarm are directly above and below her. (Bee swarm is denser) - Throws a
Bee Hive at the player that breaks, releasing Bees and Hornets on impact. (Throws hives more frequently)
- Sprays a swarm of homing
- A volley of orbital Deathrays is used following the Bee swarm (see Champion of Will).
- Under 33% health Queen Bee enters phase 3.

Notes
- The fire rate of Bee Hives decreases if any Royal Servants are alive.
- Queen Bee drops an A Bee In My Nation on spawn if it hasn't been defeated yet.
Tips
- If a hit must be taken, try to get hit by a stinger as it does not inflict infested.
- Aoe is highly useful for hitting multiple bees and subjects at once.
Trivia
- If the Eternity Mode Recolors option is turned on in the Mod Configurations menu, it resembles early concept art for the boss.
