A picture taken at the base of the  ruche , where a  travailleur  expels a  mort   abeille  from the  ruche . This corpse may not be the plague-stuck, but an ordinary member of the  mort , or, perhaps, a male  bourdon  discarded during the annual purge, which took place yesterday, just after fertilization of the local queen during mid-air  vol  in a marked multi-hive fertilization zone high and  loin  from this  seule   ruche . Multiple royal suitors vied for and won the attention of queen; each died later. Those drones still remaining in the  ruche  when she returns are not tolerated there; they are sent to the  devant   porte   mort .     A l'automne 1916, le fléau ravagea la ferme de Hive-Maker.
