  I know I'm anthropomorphizing the bees, but the queenless hive almost sounds like it's in mourning.

    They're fanning their wings to try to spread the [missing] queen's pheromones -- they're searching for their queen. This also serves the purpose of informing the other bees that they don't have a queen. This in turn will cause nurses to look for eggs they can raise queens from by feeding them royal jelly.

    "Mourning chords" sounds better, anyways =P
