>>>  Why do you feed your bees? I haven't fed mine for years and very rarely lose a colony due to starvation

Feed bees in large part because too much honey taken off.  Management practices need to honed so that enough honey stores are left for overwintering.   That is a learning process and weather changes requirements each year and cannot be reliably predicted.
