A couple of days ago, when I tried to scare Rooney with Bees....out in the rain.....
How are those bees not dropping like daises when the heavy rain hitted the bees, I'll have no idea.
I know a trick. If you get bees, they hover around the hive for a bit. During that time, run north. Then, when they come after you, pause the game by going into your pack/inventory/whatever. Equip the net. This will turn you around (facing south and the bees). Now you can catch them more easily.
Yesterday when I was chopping trees I didn't like. I forgot my bug net, and since I don't talk to Shari much she basically told me to walk it off. I'm okay with that, though, because savequitting and logging back in works just as well as meds. And it's free.
