Bee armor is an armor set which offers minion boosts. It is the only minion-boosting gear available prior to Hardmode. Wearing the full set increases the wearer's minion capacity by 2 (to a total of 3), along with granting +23% minion damage.

Crafting all pieces requires a total of 30 Bee Wax, which is a 100% drop from the Queen Bee boss. Bee Wax drops in stacks of 16-26 each time; crafting the entire set therefore requires defeating Queen Bee 2 times.
