This can be completed as early as Day 77. Once you have retrieved the new walkie-talkie from Cottonwood Creek, head back to the gate near Wapiti Station that you encountered during the previous day. Open the gate and right in front of you will be a box on pole that says Wapiti. Open it, a bee will fly out and sting you, and the achievement will unlock.

I can't get this one to pop for some reason.

I'm trying this in free roam, but I assume that isn't a problem as the other non-story related achievements have unlocked in the free roam.

I've tried it three times now and each time it fails to pop.

None of the achievements in this game have actually 'popped' with the on-screen notification, but all have unlocked in the background, with the exception of this one.

Not sure what to tell you other than try it in story mode.

By hunterIV on 22 Sep 2016 00:27

I'll give it another try later today in free roam and hope it works. If not, I'll have to play through in story mode, which will be quite a chore if I have to start from the beginning.

By Rhinne on 22 Sep 2016 06:26

It popped for me as soon as I reported that I had been stung.

By docfester on 18 Oct 2016 05:07

I got this on day 76.

By Sashamorning on 04 Dec 2016 07:19

This does seem like something you CAN'T get on free roam... and in fact the only one (other than complete x day) that you can't kind of a bummer

By LolliZombi on 27 Jan 2017 09:53

popped once I reported it to Delilah.

Please flag this achievement as missable

Thank you!

This achieve didn't pop at first for me, until I tried saving to back out and reload the game. Then it popped as soon as the save icon popped up.

By ADrunkDillweed on 12 Feb 2020 22:19

I did as mentioned by @hunterIV, and then I reported it to Delilah using left trigger. It popped after the brief convo

By iRocZL1jen on 23 Mar 2020 03:27

Did this on my first play through and didn’t pop did a second play through saved it so I could keep trying and have done it over 5 times and still won’t pop

By The Big Cheesee on 12 Nov 2020 21:56

Did not get this immediately but only the next day, when I booted up the Xbox (wasn't even in the game). Lucky I guess. Thought it was glitched for me too.

By LordBunnyHunter on 28 Dec 2021 09:01

This achievement is so stupid and broken. As with most other people here, it did not pop for me, even after trying all the things mentioned in the comments. I reported it to Delilah, had a backup save I reloaded to try it again multiple times. I even tried to get it in the free-roam mode and even though the bee does spawn and will sting you, the achievement wont pop. I guess my best shot now is to just play through the game again and hope I happen to get lucky with this seemingly randomly awarded achievement... 😒.

Edit: Replayed through a new game up to the bee part and it still wont unlock, so Im at a loss as to what I should do...

Edit#2: It finally popped the next real world day. Not sure what triggers it, but I hope my frantic miseries can help out someone else in the future. 😂

Unlocked for me first time, but never "popped" onscreen. Thought it'd glitched but checked my cheevo list and it'd unlocked on there, and then noticed it also showed on my phone via the Xbox app.

By JOHN SWFC on 20 Apr 2022 07:22

Sad that i'm gonna have to give this game a low rating due to the buggy achievments.

By ggallinftw on 15 May 2022 17:26

Didnt get on the first playthrough. On my second playthrough, on day 77, instead as go to Cottonwood Creek, as Delilah ask to me, i go direct to the wapiti station. I got stung by the bee, and reported, and got the cheevo.

By molo on 09 Oct 2022 23:42

All the achievements unlocked for me first time with no issue

By masterelliot994 on 04 Dec 2022 02:14

Just done this and got no pop

By BuryBimmer on 08 Dec 2022 00:58

Had to reload the autosave (it saved just before I reached the gate luckily) and open the box a second time to get it to pop.

By iago on 11 Dec 2022 15:04

This achievement refuses to unlock… also tried in free roam but no luck. Oh well.

By Oo Sullivan oO on 26 Jun 2023 22:01

I have issues too with this one, i have tried everything. This is the only achievement im missing. This sucks

By ByZypherr on 08 Aug 2023 16:55

Only missing achievement. Tried everything. Copy save. Leave game. Restart game. Do 360 no scope with bee. Tried playing with streaming gamepass on my phone and finally download the game on my pc. Load the first save. And boom, first try the cheevo popped. Cheers.

By ElFamosoGringo on 30 Aug 2023 18:48

For this and other buggy achievements, my found solution: upon the completion of an achievement but it doesn't pop...

Open the Xbox app on your phone. Touch your profile in the bottom right. Then touch Achievements tab and then click on Fire watch. The achievement should unlock in about 5 seconds.

I assume the problem is the game not talking to Xbox servers and checking the game on your app forces it to.

By The Baird Bus on 28 Nov 2023 04:11

Can confirm. This didn't pop, but registered for me when I opened the box at Wapiti Station.

By RushmoreYankee on 22 Sep 2016 03:27

This achievement is missable even while still in Day 77. When I'd noticed I'd missed this, I crossed the map after leaving the cave.

The bee came out of the box and stung me, no achievement. I reloaded it several times, no go. I'm wondering if that is because there was no option to report it to Delilah.

Went back there during the escape (as I had reloaded my save when the achievement didn't pop). Same thing. Bee comes out, stings me, no achievement. No idea why this is, as clearly the requirements are being met.

Super irritating to have to replay almost to the completion of the game for one silly achievement.

By smplguy on 07 Aug 2019 01:22

I had the same troubles as others and I did the following:
Got within sight of the gate
Made a save
Quit to Menu
Copied that save
Reloaded my original save and attempted to get the achievement by
Slowly completing all dialogs
Approach the box and open it - no achievement
Report sting - no achievement
Quit to Menu
Reload same save and follow same steps - no achievement
Quit to Menu
Quit Game
Reload game and use copied save - achievement randomly popped

....soo all that said to say just keep trying the save reloading :)

By PaladinX87 on 24 Aug 2023 16:47

This is how it just popped for me......
Did as MOLO mentioned above.

Got to the fence,
then broke down the gate with the axe,
paused the game,
and did a manual save.

Then quit to main menu.

Selected load game.
Instead of loading my save,
copied it to an empty slot.

Back to menu,
load game,
selected and loaded the copied save.

Opened the Wapiti lid,
got stung by the bee,
immediately radio reported it to Delilah.

Popped the achievement !

To earn the "Bee Plot" trophy in Firewatch, you must first reach Day 77, and follow the story to the point where you get a new radio and are heading back to the fence at Wapiti. As soon as you get through the fence, interact with the little Wapiti telephone box to earn this trophy.

If you need help generally with Day 77, please see my guide here:

Start a free roam game and make sure you bring your climbing gear and the axe with you.

Go to the area marked on the map and open the gate. Directly in front of you is a small box thing you can open. Open it and a bee will fly out and sting you and the achievement will unlock.
