Hi Gene, thank you for your measured and thoughtful response, strangely my loss of a hive as had the consequence of my tremendous gain of knowledge and I'm very grateful. I appreciate that as a community all ideas about beekeeping can be discussed and weighed. I am conducting a much more thorough inspection of my little absconded/dead hive and I have this community to thank for my mental picture of how to do this. Will post findings if interesting...
