A focused shield farm for players who want The Bee’s damage bonus while its shield is full.
PC / Global, base game and released DLC
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Hyperion radio station east of the Arid Nexus – Boneyard Fast Travel station.
The Bee is a dedicated drop from Hunter Hellquist, making him the direct repeat target when you want this shield. Each kill is a chance, not a promise, so check the shield drops and reset if you still need another roll.

GET STARTED
How to farm
Before you go
Complete This Just In and turn it in to Mordecai so Hellquist can respawn.
Reach Arid Nexus – Boneyard and bring equipment suited to the enemies around the station.
Fast travel to Arid Nexus – Boneyard and follow the road east to the Hyperion radio station.
Enter the station, ride the elevator, and open the door to reach Hellquist.
Defeat Hellquist and inspect the loot for The Bee.
Collect the shield if it fits your character and build; compare its level and parts with your current gear.
If it is not the roll you want, save and quit to the main menu, then continue.
Return to the station and repeat the fight.
Farming tips
Finish and turn in This Just In before beginning repeated kills; leaving it incomplete prevents Hellquist from respawning.
Dedicated sources are more focused than broad world-drop farming, but the shield is still chance-based.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable after This Just In is turned in: kill Hellquist, check loot, and save-quit to reset. Stop when you have a usable Bee or no longer need one.
Common mistakes
Trying to farm before turning in This Just In; complete the turn-in first.
Assuming every kill drops The Bee; inspect each drop and plan for multiple attempts.
Searching the radio station without taking the elevator; use it to reach Hellquist.
When to stop or switch
Keep the best Bee that suits your level and build; switch to another farm when the shield is no longer an upgrade.
