It's so good of you to share your mistakes, I am currently trying to learn about beekeeping and seeing videos like this are the ones where I learn the most. Thank you!
You feed when there is no food left. If you don't harvest the honey you don't have to feed but if you do you have to feed sugar water so they don't starve over the winter. It is pretty awful if your bees die of starvation.

jeeze I thought that syrup bag looked a bit haphazardly cut in that last vid.
You must be thinking of a different hive as I didn’t include putting syrup on this hive in the last video.
@@aussiebeekeeping yah, makes sense, after all I only got the vids to work off.
I wouldn't be a bee season if things didn't go side ways from time to time, that's no fun.
my way of thinking is feeding is only taking the natural activty away from the bees , thus weakening the hive and as you've seen creating problems.
As I found out last year when I almost lost all my hives to a lack of feed. Feeding bees keeps them alive.

@@SherryTherese well then your harvesting too much.
Lucky save for that one.
I agree.
