Seasons bees usable in herb potions?

I really hope not, because it would be awful to befriend the bees only to kill them for a herbal brew, a huge tear in the trust there.

Yeah, didn't think of that. :( But I find it almost impossible to collect them in Granite Falls and I am SO LAZY... I'd like the option.

I hope than bees can be used for new potions of herbalism
If not, why a sim can put bees at their inventory?

Why would you have to kill the bees? Couldn't you just use the honey as part of the potion?

Because for the Herbal Potion requires the insect, it's just the way EA did it.

@LadyEmperorSims I'm lazy too when it comes to collecting and fining the insects. I usually end up cheating and purchasing a few in buy mod with the cheat on. I've already done the whole collect it all, without cheating, when I first got it, but I just don't really feel like messing with all that work anymore. My sims have better things to do, like getting themselves into trouble. lol

One of my favorite mods is herbalism with optional ingredients.
Nice vanilla concept, but as usual the execution is clumsy. I don't have time to travel and hunt insects every other day. All outdoor retreat plants are growing in my garden and that should have been enough for recipes.

If you don't mind me asking where can I find this mod?

My not-really-cheating cheat is to place a store I created in my town and go shop for the insects. I grow the plants. But it takes time to shop too and you have to wait for the shelves to be restocked. For some reason I can't get myself to outright cheat and place from buildbuy - I don't know why my solution doesn't seem as cheaty...? I'm guessing that the Season bees will be different and not usable with herb potions, but I can hope.

I do the store thing also for insects if my sim has done all the gathering already. I always feel like they have to find them at least once for some reason lol.. I do it for other in game items that are needed at times.
If it fits in character there also might be a cloning machine in the basement. You just need one of each insect that way.
