Bees are a vicious insect that have appeared in Animal Crossing games. They appear in trees all year round for the whole day.

How To Catch

Bees can be obtained by shaking trees. Sometimes, a nest might fall out, and the player then proceeds to look shocked. These bees can be caught with a net, but the process is very tricky. After a bee's nest falls out of the tree, run south and then equip your net. This will make your player turn around in the opposite direction. Then, swing as fast as you can and if you are lucky you will have caught a bee. However, you can also run away to the nearest building from the bees if you do not have a net with you. If you do not make it to the building in time, you will be stung as a result.

Getting Stung

If the player gets stung, the face will swell up resulting in your character looking disfigured. Different neighbors react to your face differently. Some, such as the snooty type, will laugh and others with a nicer personality will be concerned and tell you to by some medicine from Tom Nook's Shop.

The player will say this when stung: "I got stung by BEES! Ow! Ow ow ow ow ow!"

Curing the Sting

Bee stings can be cured by buying medicine from Nook's Shop or turning off the game and reloading it. However, in Animal Crossing: City Folk, if the player has on a Mii Mask they will be prone from bees stinging them.

Animal Crossing: City Folk

"It can be quite dangerous to receive a large dose of bee venom-- for example, by being stung. That said, did you know that same substance is actually used in some women's perfumes? Indeed! A potent venom and a potent perfume... Which do you suppose is more devastating, wot?"
