neither crawling nor flying no more: objects of expiration

i'm a collector. i have some cool art and some random "antiques" but, my favorite things to collect are dead. i'm starting a little project to keep track of all the who, what, where, when, and why's of all the expired happenings that have made it into my curio box or into my freezer. a recollection of collection if you will. we'll see how this goes......
i'll start with today:

the who-honey bee (x2)
the what-
the where-both found on the same block, though seperate squares of the sidewalk near the horton grand hotel-3rd and island, downtown, san diego ,ca
the when-monday morning july 28 at about 8:30a.m.
the why-

will i ever know the what or why of this scenario? do i find these bees or do they find me? if i were to leave them on the sidewalks where i usually find them, would they just get squished into the pattern of the concrete they rest on, or get eaten, or what?
