Not sure what killed them. :-\
Bottom pic is of pollen starting to mold a bit.

Mikey,

Man I feel your pain. I'm grieving over the loss of my hives today. Got me sick to the stomach. Can't give up though, I'm hooked.

I hear ya Neil, I had a nuc freeze last winter, opened to lid and all the bees wet, soggy, dead at the top with the dead queen in the middle. Makes me very sad  :\'(
