The second a patio chair or a retro hi-fi system falls out of a tree after some vigorous shaking, you'll be giving all your trunks a good tug in the hope of further arboreal treasures. But sooner or later, a wasps' nest is going to crash out, the result being stingy retribution.

You'll be left with a swollen face, which if untreated with medicine will cause you to literally die like Macaulay Culkin in My Girl, or at least faint. To make the medicine, you need the wasp's nest, so nothing is gained from this escapade.

Best thing, then, is to approach trees with your net equipped. If any wasps fall out, you can immediately catch them, avoiding nasty anaphylaxis and getting a new, scary treat for Blathers at the same time.
