Don’t honeybees find their own food? Nectar and pollen from flowers, right? Why on earth would I feed honeybees?

Well, look at it this way: 

First off, bees don’t belong in North America. They came from somewhere else, and that’s where their food

grows. Now, along with honeybees we’ve moved a lot of their food sources to North America, too, so there is a presence here, but not everywhere. So, one thing going against them is that they can’t find the right food.
