'''Bees''' are insects that like to hide in [[tree]]s, and come out when you shake them! To catch one, you need to be quick. When you find a swarm, you must quickly take out your [[net]], turn around, and hit A to swing at them. If you miss, you'll be stung though!

'''Bees''' are in every game. They are an [[insect]] in the {{SER}} that fall, in bee hives, from shaken trees.

The only cure for bees stings is medicine that you can buy from [[Tom Nook's Shop]]. Alternatively, save your game, and quit. When you restart, the sting should be gone.

Bees are in every game. They are an insect in the Animal Crossing series that fall, in bee hives, from shaken trees. Bees chase the player that shakes the tree (the reaction beforehand is one of shock) until they either take cover in a building, catch the bee, or get stung. If stung, the player's left eye will swell up. They are worth 2,500 Bells in Animal Crossing City Folk and 4,500 Bells in all of the other games. Five bee hives are generated every day, but don't fall when the gate is open.

A bee hive

Not to be confused with a Honeybee which does not sting you.

The Player will require medicine or can simply save and end the game to be healed. Villagers will remark on a stung player's appearance if they have been stung, some reacting in fright (like Marina); some like Portia, chiding the Player for that attack (adding insult to injury); while cranky villagers outright laugh at the player in amusement. If a bee hive falls from a tree and the player goes to talk to a villager, they will notice the bees in the air and say something in fear. i.e., "Get away from me!"

Further Information

Apis cerana japonica, the Asiatic honey bee, on a flower.

Apis cerana japonica, the Asiatic honey bee, is a hardy species of bee that originates from South-Eastern Asia. It is used commercially for its honey, despite having a smaller yield than its European counterpart, Apis mellifera. Mellifera has, however, been subject to selective breeding for many centuries, greatly increasing honey output over the years.

Cerana can survive at temperatures of as low as -0.1ºC and heights of up to 3,500 meters.

An interesting form of defense in the case of the Asiatic honey bee against a specific predator, the Japanese giant hornet, involves swarming around the hornet. This raises the hornet's temperature, overheating and subsequently killing it.
