A bee with damaged wings.  This is usually a sign of heavy vorroa infestation. The varroa transmits a virus (Deformed Wing Virus, DWV) which causes a high incidence of bad-winged bees.  Bees like this will survive for 2-3 days inside the hive, then would walk out (kicked out?) the hive and die in the field.

Just found this one from my old pile, by the old Nikon Coolpix 990 (point and shoot camera).  Shot in Oct 2002 (it only took me 3 years to find what I have!)
