I have only been playing Seasons for a few days and I'm exploring the delights of Spring. (I've also been waiting to use that Eddie Izzard quote. LOL) I think that my bees are irritated by all the rain. I've tried putting a tree behind them to block some of the rain, but that doesn't really work. Any tips? I don't want to put the beehouse in a shelter... but that might be what I have to do.

Put them inside? If you have a greenhouse for instance?

As far as keeping the rain off of them, all you have to do is to have a roof over their head. So if you have a porch, they can be put there as well. Of you can build them a small shelter with their very own little roof over head.

The bees definitely have personality. Different weather makes them irritable. Mites enrage them. They also have a bad habit of being territorial. One of my lots backs up to an open area and neighbors are constantly walking through there and pass by the beehives. At least once a day someone gets swarmed and stung. One child walks to and from school at the same times every day and he seldom gets to school or home without a bee sting or ten. Poor kid. :/

Of all the quirky and buggy things I've read about so far I think I would actually enjoy this one.

Yeah. It's sooo funny to watch. LOL And every time it happens I laugh. I actually wait to see that little boy coming down the street every Sim morning to see if he makes it past the beehives. I keep telling him to run but he doesn't listen very well. ROFL

Love your picture!!! :smiley:

I didn't explore the bees much yet, only a few visits. Might try to let a sim live from selling honey, but with the raise in bills we saw, it might be hard...

Is it bad that I laughed at this? I won't laugh next time.

so...bees either don't like death or don't like the reaper. i just 'accidentally' killed a sim in the middle of my greenhouse and when the reaper showed up, all four hives went straight from calm to enraged and started stinging everyone

Dude, did they go for the Reaper too? That's another awesome kill... I mean, that is very very sad.
