Bees in front on ground

Anyone in the southeast having this problem?
Will begin my early spring season inspections soon.
Been idle for a while, time to get to work.

The bees I see on the ground in front of the hive are quite slow-moving and appear to be on the verge of death.  I think they have been cast out of the hive and are probably dead by the end of the day.
