Bees don't make more honey than they can use. They make what they can and have reserves for Winter and growing in the Spring. Do you pay your landlord everything you'd otherwise save?
I've never seen a bee colony "worry" about finding food. They'll travel within a one mile radius for foraging, and four to five miles for water. Colonies will also leave a hive, or swarm (split into 2 colonies) if there is not enough resources for them.
It's not a deal. They don't understand what's happening. If you're going to take their honey, at least don't make up some weird fantasy where they're happy about it.
>It's not a deal.
We will spend fortunes and invent new science to prevent their extinction. Whether they understand it or not, they grabbed a real bargain.
Dad joke: It would be more apt if instead of a-piary, it was "b-piary".
(Although maybe you’re right colloquially)

A load of bees engaged in robbing behaves entirely differently from a swarm, which is a magical thing to interact with.
It sorta reminds me of "Wax or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees."
