Bee

Bees are an insect in the Animal Crossing series that fall, in bee hives, from shaken trees. Bees chase the Player that shakes the tree until they either take cover in a building, catch the bee or are stung. If stung, the Player's left eye will swell up. The Player will require medicine or can simply quit the game to be healed. Villagers will remark on a stung Player's appearance if they have been stung.

Further Information
Apis Cerana, 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 yeild 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 metres.

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