Answer:

Parasitism

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no mutual relationship (also meaning no cooperation, which I do not think is a type of relationship), the mite isn't "eating" the honeybee, so not predation. Therefore, parasitism, when one creature benefits at the expense of the other creature.
