Complete guess: The insecticide molecules are eventually consumed by the bees and chemically substitute the various proper molecules that bees produce internally. When the hive releases signals (pheromones?) like "We're under attack", "It'a getting cold", or "New young are due", the individual bees pick it up and hence release the stored chemicals which poison them.
How'd I go? Should I ditch CS and study biology? :)
