Or what we are saying is, let's stop bees being natural, let Beekeepers decide when they should multiply by swarm control and honey robbing ? I'm not being a ass guys. I'm just challenging things. I entered this to help bees and have a jar of honey occasionally. Maybe I'm different to most ?
Oh dear ... as someone who:
a: Keeps bees without treating them.
b: Has them on foundationless frames.
c: Allows them to overwinter on honey and not sugar.
d: Doesn't use smoke.
e: Interferes with them only when I consider intervention is necessary.
I consider that I keep my bees in as natural a way as possible but you have to remember that 'keeping' bees is not natural anyway ... their 'natural' home is a hollow tree and they will never have any intervention. The reality you need to grasp is that, in the UK, without beekeepers there would be a whole lot less bees than there are now.
How you conduct yourself as a beekeeper after you accept that premise is up to you. The one common factor I find amongst beekeepers is that they all care deeply about their bees and a colony loss is a tragedy.
Whether you consider taking honey from a hive is 'robbing' is immaterial - bees will continue to make honey whilst they have space and forage available - far more than they can consume over winter for the most part. As long as they are left with sufficient stores to keep them fed, where is the harm in removing the honey they don't need ?
I don't preach my way of keeping bees as the right way or the only way so, whether you choose to take honey or not, or you decide to become what Finman usually calls a 'leave alone guy', is up to you - but whatever you do consider the consequences for your bees, the people who live around you and ultimately you.
There is no answer to your question in the UK because, as I see it, there is no problem.
You have, probably, inadvertently, put the backs up of about half the forum members by suggesting that what they do is unnatural, taking honey is 'robbing' and by intimating that your way of keeping bees is 'different'. I'd put your tin hat on if I were you ....
