You will still get stung every once in a while, but it's rare if you treat them like any other "good friend" of your sim and give them a little attention every day.

Probably do get stung maybe every 4 or so days, but it's not a huge deal...it wears off quickly enough and with gardening first thing in the morning, there's enough other happy buffs to counter it (breakfast, shower, good rest, clean clothes, etc.)
Thank you for your input, @Stormkeep . I didn't really consider 'treating' them like a friend. I guess, now it makes sense. It just didn't dawn on me. I will give that a try.
