Giant bee queen is a type of monster in ADOM. Whenever a beehive is generated on a level, one giant bee queen will be generated, which also results in the destruction of the hive; giant bee queens are never spawned naturally. The queens use poisonous attacks like other bees; like in real life, though, queen bees don't die when they sting.

This over-sized insect, unique to each hive is the source of all the other bees in a given hive. Only if the hive is greatly threatened will she remove her bloated self from the hive’s egg chambers to defend her children.
