| |
| − | '''Bees''' (ハチ, ''Hachi'') are bugs appearing in every game before {{NH}}, where [[Wasp]]s replace them. 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 swells. They are worth 2,500 Bells in {{CF}} and {{NL}}, and 4,500 Bells in all of the other games. Five beehives are generated every day, but do not fall when the gate is open.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The player can be healed either with [[medicine]] or by simply saving and ending the game. Villagers will remark on a stung [[player]]'s appearance if the player has been stung, some reacting in fright or concern (like [[Marina]]); some like [[Portia]], chiding the player for that attack (adding insult to injury); while [[cranky]] villagers outright laugh at the [[player]]. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, a [[sisterly]] villager will act concerned for the player, and will give them medicine if they are stung, even if the villager is currently sick. If a beehive falls from a tree and the [[player]] goes to talk to a villager, the villager 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, the player 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 the Bees appear at the very bottom of the screen, the player must swing their net. If the 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', the player can stop, equip the net and rapidly hit the 'A' button. A player must swing the net the instant they return to the screen from the equipment.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Equipping the net is much easier in {{CF}} and {{NL}} because the net can be equipped with the touch of a button on the D-Pad; it is unnecessary to go to the equipment screen, saving the player time. Because of this, it is fairly simple to catch a Bee in these games. Players should shake the tree from the 10 o'clock position. When players see the beehive fall, they can immediately press the D-Pad, and immediately after the net is equipped, the player can press A to swing the net. If the player started in the 10 o'clock position, the swarm should be right in front of the players' face when they swing, meaning players will catch the Bee. This method, if done correctly, almost always works.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In {{NL|short|nolink}}, players can alternatively go on the north position around the tree and then shake it (or hit it with an axe). Once a beehive comes out, they can walk to the beehive within the netting range and then open the menu with the X button (it is quicker than using the touch screen). The Bees then circle in place, but do not move from their spawned spot. The player can then equip a net. Once the player exits the menu, they must immediately swing the net to catch the Bees.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As of the {{WA|short}} update in {{NL}}, catching bees is even easier than before, as now players can shake trees without having to unequip the net.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Bees are above all the most difficult to catch in {{WW}} in terms of strategy and speed.

| |
| − | ''"Why, I'd imagine it took more than a bit of skill and daring to catch bees! You've got 'moxie,' as I believe they say. I'm certain you must have been stung numerous times. How terribly painful that must have been, eh wot? Incidentally, do you know how some honeybees protect their hives when attacked by giant wasps? The giant wasps can't survive heats above 113 degrees, but the honeybees can live at heats up to 122 degrees. The canny honeybees use this nine-degree difference to their fullest advantage, wot! When the wasps arrive, the bees attack them en masse. A single wasp may be swarmed by up to 500 bees! Now this is truly amazing. The bees then begin to vibrate, creating a veritable cocoon of suffocating heat. Do you see the genius at work here? This swarming is but a feverish defense against the giant wasps' weakness. The temperature? Hoo hoo! Lo and behold, 120 degrees! Just below the bees own threshold of survival! In this incredible fashion, the honeybees literally lay their lives on the line to protect the hive. Stupendous! To be honest, I learned that from a wee documentary I saw on the telly! Of course, incredible feats go only so far. When all is said and done, they're still insects, and still ghastly!"''

| − | ''"Bees are prone to attack anyone who comes too close to their hive, so be careful when approaching! The yellow and black you see on their bodies are colors often used to convey danger. This danger is pretty significant, as many varieties of bees are capable of stinging multiple times."''

| − | [[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 -0.1°C and heights of up to 3,500 meters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Asiatic honey bees have a unique defense mechanism against a specific predator, the {{wp|Japanese giant hornet}}. It involves surrounding the hornet and then vibrating. This raises the hornet's temperature, overheating and subsequently killing it. Despite this, just approximately thirty Japanese giant hornets can obliterate an entire hive consisting of thousands of bees in a few hours.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A common point of speculation regarding the bee in the ''Animal Crossing'' series is whether or not it is meant to be based on the Asiatic honey bee or the Japanese giant hornet. As the bee's Japanese name, ''hachi'', can refer to both bees and wasps interchangeably and the bee's in-game design in {{CF}} and {{NL}} is more similar to the Japanese giant hornet, some speculate that it is based more on the hornet than the honeybee and that the reference to it as a bee is a mistranslation.
