Combining the hive didn't go quite as planned

A close-up on some of the hundreds of dead bees strewn in front of the entrance of my remaining beehive. 
Today was a sad day in my bee yard.  Following the methods outlined in one of my previous posts I attempted to add the dwindling population of my queenless hive to my strong hive.  The outcome was carnage with the introduced bees being promptly discovered and killed.  Within a few hours all that remained of the queenless hive was the dead and dying remains of its few hundred workers.
