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.

Why are honey bees eaiest to take care of?
I am not sure easiest is necessarily the best word, but the reason we keep honey bees rather than any other variety of bee is for the honey. Although other bees, such as bumble bees, do make honey it is only in small amounts because they don't need to save stores for the winter (the queens hibernate, the others die). Honey bees on the other hand don't hibernate so need to build up a stock of food during the summer to take them through the winter when nectar is not available. Beekeepers take most -- but not all -- of this honey then feed the bees during the winter with sugar syrup.
What is the difference of a hornets and honey bees?
Ground bees are native bees. They can pollinate plants and feed on nectar, but they do no need to create food store to survive through the winter. Almost all die off. Honey bees pollinate plants as a side-effect of their nectar-gathering activities. Because they maintain a population over winter, they need to store food. Hence, they make honey. ___________ Honey bees will be a colony of thousands in one nest, where ground bees are solitary bees, one bee (raising a brood) to the nest, though there may be dozens of these solitary nest in the same area Lar
