Here are the developers at Nintendo talking about the global Calendar of Events:

Catching The Present Balloons Cheat

No doubt you’ve seen floating present balloons appear as you walk outside in your town, six of these balloon with presents hanging under them will appear every hour at random sides of your town.

When do the present balloons appear: The balloon appearance is triggered whenever the current time ends with a four, so if you start playing at noon balloons will appear during that hour at: 12:04, 12:14, 12:24, 12:34, 12:44, 12:44, and 12:54.

How you can tell where they are at: If you hear the wind whistling through your town, that means there’s a balloon floating nearby.

How to catch the present balloons: It drove me crazy not knowing how to grab these flying presents at the start of the game.
* Catch it early in the game: How you do it is by walking to the coastal side of your town and waiting at the cliff for a balloon to float your way, either from at sea or from the town if you’ve been following it around. Right before it reaches the cliff you must hit it with your bug catching net and get the present! This works because the balloon will lower for a moment when it reaches the cliff.
* Catch it later in the game: Later on it’ll be much easier to catch the present balloons by shooting them down with a slingshot.

Avoiding Bee Stings Cheat

Bee stings are the worst, aren’t they?

Bee Avoiding Method #1: If a bee flies after you, try and catch it with your bug catching net.

Bee Avoiding Method #2: Alternatively, to get away from a bee do the natural thing… Run away like crazy! But that only works if you then hide in any building to avoid it.

Bee Avoiding Method #3:If a bee is about the sting you, as a last resort you can press the Start button on your 3DS and choose the “Save and Continue” option. Then when you go back to continue playing the game, the bee will be removed because of the area you’re in has been refreshed by the game. Just be more careful next time you’re around the beehive, because that will still be on the ground after saving.

Fast Boat Travelling Cheat

Here’s how to fast forward your water travels.

You can skip the long boat ride to the tropical island (I think it’s called Tortimer Island) by pressing on the A button really rapidly.
