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)

Who are the preadators of the honeybee?
The greatest natural predator that honey bees face is the Varroa Mite. This small arachnid produces larvae which can infest honey bee hives, feeding on both bee larvae and adult bees. Mite infestation will also diminish the bees immune system, making them increasing vulnerable to other infections. There are also species of beetles that, like the mites, produce larvae that feed on both bee larvae and the honeycomb they depend on. Several types of wasps have been know to attack honey bee hives and hunt honey bees for food. Honey bee's may also be threatened by larger predators, such as skunks, badgers or bears, who will invade, and often destroy, hives to acquire honey. (Skunks are also known to eat the bees themselves.) Finally, all bees are threatened by human activity which can result in loss of habitat and expose bee populations to the damaging effects of agricultural pesticides.
