How to catch bees

animal-crossing-new-leaf

I know from previous Animal Crossing games that it's possible to catch the bees that fall out of trees (not the free roaming honeybees), assuming you manage to do so before they sting you. Sadly, I'm not having much success at capturing them in New Leaf. I try to turn around to capture them, but I always get stung before I can.

How can I catch the bees that fall out of trees in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

Here is a good video that shows a strategy for catching bees:

Basically, you want to run away from them as soon as you can, and wait for them to follow you (run 6-8 squares away), and the moment the bees come on screen, press A as soon as they appear and you should catch them. In the video, she suggests running up, so you don't have to really turn much to be facing the bees when they appear.
