I know of a beekeeper in alaska who doesn't feed his bees either. One in
western canada who is upset due to causing a situation that will require
feeding, but knows he/she created the situation by splitting x10 in the
spring. The canadian beekeeper caused the situation by splitting 1 hive
into 10 over the course of the beekeeping season. This beekeeper doesn't
feed otherwise. This is a management fault, not a cause of natures
cycles.

These people do not feed when the bees are not able to gather enough,
and they are quite far north.
