Looks like Drone brood, pupa, that grows between the top bars of one super
and the bottom bars of another. When the beekeeper lifts the supers apart
the drone brood is exposed and the worker bees clean it up by sucking up
the, yum, yum, good juices, and the grave yard detail comes in and removes
the dead pup's kicking then out the entrance, or flying off with them to
drop them in front of the hive if they are still heavy.
