Beekeepers take all the extra honey leaving just a bit for the hive itself. Do bees predict someone is going to take their honey? Do they make only a certain amount and then stop or so they just go ham and make as much as possible? Mmmm honey ham..

That’s why you need a bee keeper; he cares for bees: adding tarragon leaves against parasites, providing easier-already-half-made wax base for storing honey so bees need less effort (and in turn, honey) to create those from scratch, and as someone else mentioned feeding them syrup, – accounting for things that would normally hit the bee population much harder, thus requiring extra honey stockpiled to pull through.
And bee keepers take that into account; they monitor the hive and as autumn draws near, they take less and less honey, so bees have enough of stockpile for themselves (and if harvest wasn’t as full, they take less). They also insulate hives before winter with pillows for warmth, ect.
