The store they make themselves, how do you know if they have enough?

Weight of hive. Get in the habit of lifting back edge of hive every time you go into beeyard or do inspections. You will begin to learn what is going on regarding food by the weight. If you get cold winters, your hive should way minimumly 60 lbs in October for two deeps. I like 80 myself. I then add a sugar board as back-up on a warm day early february for me.
