Tidy bees

Bees seem very snug on this still, cloudy winter day, top and bottom openings are clear; we have about 2 cm of snow, just enough to see 20 or so dead bees scattered on 2 square meters in front of their hives: they've done their mortuary housekeeping. I assume the Young Beekeeper. if he looked closely, also could see tiny brown dots of bee-poop, but my eyes aren't sharp enough.
