Good luck to them... Beekeeping isn't as simple as just buying a hive and some bees and sticking it in your backyard...
There are a lot of diseases that can infect hives and kill bees really quickly; there is also the problem of "robbing" Robbing is a situation in which a beehive is attacked by invaders from other hives.
It also helps to have a honey spinner to extract the honey from the comb.. Oh and you actually have to feed them, they don't live off pollen
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means

Nectar for energy and carbohydrates
Man-made - sugar syrup, protein cakes
Professional apiarists move their hives to where there is natural food source. Weather conditions have an effect on whether the season is good or not.
Backyard bee-keepers would probably have to feed them.
