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.

What bees feed the bee larvae?

usally they keep them in the countryside where more flowers bloom, so the bees can make more honey The question was "what do beekeepers feed their bees". This could be interpreted in two ways. The original answer would be more correct if it were in response to the question "What do beekeepers let their bees eat?" However, if the question is in fact "What do beekeepers feed to their bees, the answer is: Actually, beekeepers most often feed their bees a sugar/water mixture comprised of somewhere between 1 part sugar and 2 parts water, and straight 1 to 1. This mixture is fed when not enough honey remains in the hive to support the health of the colony over the entire winter season. (See http://www.mainebee.com/articles/march2001.php)
