You've got me puzzled here Chris.

Unless what you are saying is that they do not eat the honey in the
saved super, then this is plainly incorrect.

If they eat the 20lb or so of  honey ( or however much or little) then
they have to replace it with the same amount of fresh stuff. Every year.
So it is an annual investment of considerable size.

Nearly five years feed bill (at the current respective values of syrup
and honey) per winter in fact.
