Do honey bees die if the honey or part of the comb is removed from the hive?

Someone told me the bees die if disturbed or the honey or part of the comb is removed. I like honey and beeswax candles, but do not wish to harm the bees.Do honey bees die if the honey or part of the comb is removed from the hive?
It is an unfortunate inevitability that one or two bees die in the extraction process. Before removing the comb, the keeper will smoke the bees with oil, which floods the box with CO2 and calms the bees down. Then they remove the frame the honeycomb is in--leaving the comb containing worker larvae alone. However, one or two workers may be on the honeycomb and, when it is brought into the room where they spin the comb to extract the honey, the bees still attached die.





But it's one or two bees out of tens of thousands. Beekeepers are very mindful that a healthy colony means good honey production.Do honey bees die if the honey or part of the comb is removed from the hive?
No. Beekeepers only take some of the honey, leaving enough to keep the bees alive all winter till the next honey season.





I am sure the bees would appreciate your good intentions but if honey was not collected as a salable product no one would bother to raise bees and most of them would be dead by next year.
PENGUINNsss!!!!
No, but they get really mad! It just means more work!
