Wheres the bees?

This was in a stack of supers he'd not sealed up right. No bees were harmed during the taking of this photo.

I know one beekeeper who opened an "empty" hive to clean it and found a hornet nest inside. It was Spring so the nest wasn't large, they closed it up pronto and returned wearing a bee suit later to deal with it.
