Note:

"Suppressed episode" of Through the Looking-Glass 1977/78 publications, and probably others, include a facsimile of the purported galley proofs.
(If genuine) Lewis Carroll removed this episode from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, on the suggestion of John Tenniel, who rejected it for illustration. It followed the longer White Knight episode and concluded chapter eight.
Some publications that contain the novel may include this episode without presenting it as one of the main contents, even as "reinstated", so it is likely to be overlooked in some ISFDB and library records.
This is widely accepted as the wasp episode Tenniel rejected, and Carroll removed from the novel, recovered from an artifact that Sotheby's sold in 1974 as the original corrected galley proofs--not examined by experts as of 2015. --Karoline Leach (contrariwise.info), who doubts

Synopsis: On the verge of crossing the last brook and being crowned a queen, Alice hears the expressive sighs of someone very unhappy, and turns aside into the wood.
