Mortician bees hard at work

After the combining of the two splits I noticed a large amount of dead bees in front of the hive.  There must have been more of a fight about the combination then I first thought.  It took the mortician bees a couple of weeks to get them all out.  Sorry girls, but after 3 tries to get them to make a queen they were bound to parish if something wasn't done.  I think it was the best solution.
