>....a member of our local club brought in some dead drones from the front
of a hive......, and these had their endophalluses everted.


Dead drones with everted endophalluses? Possibly melanosis ( a fungal
disease affecting the bee's reproductive system - incl. drones). 


I've seen this many years ago. It could be regarded as а non contagious
(genetic) disease, and as long as the queen is not affected, it is pretty
harmless.
