Electric Feral Bees. The hive was empty today.
If this had been earlier in the year I would have said that the queen had left. At this time of the year I fear the queen was killed by raiders and the workers bees had little option but leave with the raiders to join the queen in another hive.
There were a few dead bees on the floor - but not many. There was still a lot of honey in the frames so it wasn't a matter of the hive being cleaned out.
