John,

It does not appear I still have any photos of it, but I'm still looking. I
take a lot of photos, and regularly purge them. If I can locate any, I will
follow up with them.

I don't believe it was sacbrood, but possible as brood diseases are not
common here and I have no sacbrood experience. The larvae were dying prior
to being capped, and I was generally unable to remove the larvae as a
whole. The hive was well fed, had good nectar and pollen stores. Brood was
distorted, discolored, and melted. The bees were NOT cleaning out the brood
as quickly as I am used to. I'd say something like 80% of the brood was
having this issue. The best fitting description I could find outside of FB
was "idiopathic brood disease syndrome".

The yard was 8 hives, about 8 inches apart. Only one of the hives had this
issue, however this was the only one with a queen from that particular
source.
