Looks like the bees didn't make it. We've been having a few really cold days over the past few weeks, and I doubt that the bees had enough food stored away in the comb to hold them over. I did have some fondant in there to try to keep them going, but it didn't help.
When I found out that they didn't make it, it was kind of like a friend passing away. I enjoyed checking on them and seeing them flying on warm days. The only thing I can do now is try to figure out what went wrong, and try to keep it from happening this year.
Good luck with your bees, and I hope you have better fortune than I with overwintering.
