The honey bee colony must have enough food to eat at all times. To ensure that the colony has enough food to survive a longer period without flowers to collect nectar from, the colony needs to be fed extra food. This can be done in many ways, usually by a device on the colony allowing the bees to collect, process and store the food in the wax combs. Just like with honey.
