I think I read somewhere bees late in the season get drunk stupid on fermented sugars and the like as flowers and trees start to wind down and go dormant... A bees eat as they continue to try and stockpile for winter.

Also, depending on overnight temps, the bees are lathargic due to the temps / changing weather patterns too. So won't make it to see another spring so the fall is like a last ditch effort for them.
