How to Catch a Wasp (Bee)
| Steps | Directions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Equip A Net  |
| 2 | Shake Hardwood or Cedar Trees to Find Wasps |
| 3 | Make Sure You're In Front of the Tree For An Easy Catch |
| Optional | Get Rid of Your Wasp Sting! |
1. Equip A Net
To catch a wasp, you'll need to equip your net! Press the X Button to go into your pockets and select your net. Hold it to equip it.
You can also select it from your Tool Ring!
2. Shake Hardwood or Cedar Trees to Find Wasps
Wasps can only spawn in Hardwood and Cedar Trees. They don't spawn in Fruit Trees. Hardwood Trees and Fruit Trees, without their fruits, look very similar, so it may be hard to tell which is which.
One way to tell them apart is by their first shake of the day. If it drops money, furniture, or Wasps, then it's guaranteed a Hardwood Tree. Both trees can drop sticks though.
Another way to identify them is to eat Fruits or Food to gain stamina to pick up trees with a Shovel. You can identify the tree you picked up from your inventory and check if it's a Hardwood or Fruit tree.

3. Make Sure You're In Front of the Tree For An Easy Catch
On the search for a Wasp, make sure you always position yourself on the very front of the tree before shaking it. This makes it easier for you to catch it as the animation makes your character face the right direction already. All you have to do left is swing your net down immediately.
Congratulations, you caught yourself a Wasp!
Get Rid of Your Wasp Sting (Optional)
If you do find yourself at the receving end of some nasty wasp stings, take Medicine or wait for the next day for it to heal up!

How to Escape Wasps
Run Inside a Building
When you do find yourself in a chase with some angry wasps, you can run inside the nearest building!
The wasps will not follow you inside a building, so you'll be safe inside!
Press the A Button to Enter
Keep in mind that for some buildings, you'll have to press the A Button to enter.
Make sure you get as close to the entrance as possible so you don't accidentally use the a tool you're holding instead.
Use a Party Popper
Using a Party Popper right as you attract some wasps can scare them away, leaving your face safe from stings!
You can purchase Party Poppers from Nook's Cranny for 100 Bells each.. Do note that they're consummables and will disappear from your inventory upon use.

Wasp Additional Info
Dialogue When Caught
“I caught a wasp! That's gotta sting...” |
Dialogue When Donated to Blathers
| “Hoo! Allow me to share a fact with you! Wasps are sometimes called "meat bees" because... They. Eat. MEAT! MEAT! Of almost any sort! Surely you've seen what a menace they make of themselves at picnics. 'Tis hardly the worst of it, wot wot! Aggressive predators with venomous stingers, wasps not only hunt and eat other insects... They paralyze their prey, then drag their victims home ALIVE, leaving them for their larva to feed upon. Suddenly a simple sting seems quite tolerable.” |
