Some thing diffrent today (my dads dead bee hive)

My dad was been raising bees this summer and for some reason the bees swarmed and toke off from the hive leaving a few brood cells. These brood hatched from the hive with out a queen and started going out and collecting pollen and nectar,  but with out a queen it was only a matter of time before they all die off with being replaced. It was very cool these last couple of days, I've gone out checked up on the hive to find it reaking of death and over flowing with rotten honey and dead bees. its actually kind of creepy how the bees are frozen in place as if they all died in an instant stuck to the comb.  here are a few pictures I toke as I riped apart the hive to see if there where any alive in there.

 These bees are all dead yet they look as if they never stopped working.
