You don't have to shake the trees to catch one. You just have to hit the tree with your net and if there is one in there, you catch it. I discovered this accidentally when I hit a tree and caught a spider. I tried for three nights to catch a bagworm this way and finally caught one last night.

Wanted to pass that along so you all didn't have to pick up a ton of fruit. :)
 
Oh wow, that's really good to know. I wasn't looking forward to getting stung by bees and having to pick up fruit. Thanks!
 
THANK YOU...I have been getting stung like crazy and for nothing! This will save me a lot of aggravation. I haven't been able to find one yet.
 
In order not to be stung by bees, once the hive drop i'll just do a " save and continue" the game.

Once you back the bees will be gone.

Hope this help.

I just open my inventory really quick, which pauses the game; even the bees. I take my time getting my net. Then I hit B to resume action and as soon as the swarm approaches I hit A and capture them. Most times I get the bee and the hive 5 out of 5 times! I've gotten pretty good at this. It was such a revelation to me to learn that opening your inventory pauses the game. :)
 
My friends all run away a-little before they open their inventory to catch bees.

I haven't tried to catch a bee,spider, or bag-worm yet myself though.

I sometimes do that, too! Yesterday I ran over one of my flowers and destroyed it. Ugh...it was one of my pink tulips. But at least I caught the bee and got 2,500 bells out of it. 3,000 with the hive. :)

Totally worked!

The swinging at the trees for the bagworm, or the inventory trick for catching the bee? Or both? Anyway, congrats! I was so happy when I got my first bagworm! It seems that my villagers like them. :)
 
Nah, they're not worth much. But the villagers like them and the museum likes them. And for me, 3,000 bells per incident isn't bad. Covers my normal shopping for the day. :)
 
Thank you so much for this! I had no idea how to get a bagworm without getting stung by bees and having to carry around so much fruit, and it didn't take me at least 5 minutes to catch one! :)
