"Why are usually the aggressive bees the best honey producers?"

"I believe that this is a myth."

Certainly. And like many myths, it is based on a casual observation (a hive which made a lot of honey and was also mean; danced all night and it rained the next day), which was repeated so many times it became accepted wisdom. Beware of apparent correlations; consider coincidences!
