Dead bees in front of the hive?
With the queen laying 1,000 to 3,000 eggs a day and bees living about six weeks, there are ALWAYS some dead bees in front of the hive. Often you don’t see them because they are in the weeds or grass. A LOT of dead bees (piles of them) might be cause for concern because it may be a sign of pesticide poisoning or some other problem. But some are normal.
