eli5: Why do bees make so much extra honey?

249 views

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..

Just thinking out loud here, but if I had to fathom a guess, I would imagine that eons of evolution in a world where your hive gets robbed every season by something, you’d learn to make extra for the taxes.
