| − | '''Bees''' are in every game. They are an [[insect]] in the {{SER}} that fall, in [[beehive]]s, 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.[[File:Beehive.jpg|left|thumb|A bee hive]]
| |
| − | 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!"

| − | ==Catching the Bee==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[player]] must walk around and shake various trees, making sure there is room around the tree for a nest to fall, a large space directly north to run in, and that the player has their net ready to be accessed quickly. When a beehive falls and the character receives the comical shock expression, they must run north and quickly switch to the net. This will always cause the player to face south. The bees too will fly north to sting the player, and as soon as they appear at the very bottom of the screen, the player must swing their net. If their timing is right, the bees will be caught.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another tactic is shaking and running around the tree in the direction away from the nest, making sure that the player does not run too early or the bees will come out of the nest and attack in the direction they are running. At about the '10 o'clock position', they must stop, equip your net and rapidly hit the the 'A' button. A player must swing their net the instant they return to the screen from their equipment.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Equipping the net is much easier in {{CF}} because the net can be equipped with the touch of a button on the D-Pad; it is not necessary to go to the equipment screen, saving the player time.

| − | [[File:real Bee.jpg|left|100px|thumb|''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 {{wp|Japanese giant hornet}}, involves swarming around the hornet. This raises the hornet's temperature, overheating and subsequently killing it.
