Honey bees will stay in the hives when it is too cold to fly out, and will cluster together on the combs to conserve body heat -- rather like penguins in the antarctic.
For bumble bees and wasps: at the end of summer the colonies would have produced new queens and drones. The new queens will mate then fly off to find somewhere sheltered to spend the winter in hibernation. The rest of the colony die. Next spring the queens come out of hibernation and start new nests.

Why do you need to feed the bees after taking there honey?
The honey that bees produce is to feed themselves during the winter. If a beekeeper removes all of their honey, the bees would die of starvation during the winter as they have no way of replenishing their lost stores (no flowers in the winter). The bees are usually fed sugar syrup - a mixture of ordinary granulated sugar mixed with water.
