"Feed any colonies that may come anywhere close to running out during a dearth
generously, and well in advance.  The time to feed for dearths and/or
winter is as soon as any honey flows are over and any surplus is removed."

Some would say the successful beekeeper doesn't need to feed if only the
surplus is removed.  Removing honey and then replacing it with sugar and
water is a questionable idea in some beekeepers minds.
