My relationship is full green bar with them. And it seems I have to treat the mites problem every day !!! Yea I do grab honey off them but aren’t they supposed to give me honey ?

They don't give you honey automatically: you must harvest it from the box. As for their mood, do you ever "Bond with Bees"? That generally improves them right afterwards. What's your sim's relationship with them? I find that the higher relationship my sim has with her bees, the happier the bees and the better the honey. They also seem to get sick less. If you neglect them for a few days, they will get mites, and then the best solution is to treat the mites as quickly as possible and not to harvest any honey for a few days. I also avoid harvesting honey when the bees are irritated or enraged. If your sim has any skill in flower arranging you can also place any arrangement that is scented with crocus within five tiles of the bee box and that will keep them calm. IF you use mods, LittleMsSam also has an excellent mod called "Calm Bees" which works to improve the bees much like the bond function but without any risk of failure.

I could never quite get the hang of keeping my sims bees calm. I tried your advice, and it really works. Im also getting higher quality honey when I do harvest it! Thanks for the advice. very helpfull.
