Keep holding your Net, shake the tree when you're facing it from the front or side.
Be sure that there are no flowers surrounding the tree, otherwise remove them first, if the hive falls then quickly use the net to capture the bees.
The beehive sells for 500 bells. Throw it away if you have too many bells in your pocket.Bees can actually be caught in game if you're quick enough with a net.I don't think the hive can be sold for anything though, I think it has a disposal free. I'm not completely sure though.
My thoughts on easter in acnl is that I like doing the activities and collecting the eggs, but I wish you could get random items as well, instead of just egg furniture. It'd probably be frustrating more than fun but imo once you have all of the egg furniture there's nothing you can do afterwards.
