Are the bees drone or worker pupae?  I assume that they're drones, because a
normal colony procedure this time of year is for the bees to exclude the adult
drones from the hive, as well as uncap the developing drones and throw them
out.  This is a response to the coming winter season, and there is nothing to
be done about it at all.
