Marie Celeste syndrome is just another term for CCD.
The typical picture of a CCD hive caused by earlier neonicotinoid exposure would be the queen plus handful of bees still in the hive as well as stores, but all the rest of the bees gone.
Seems you have a slight variation of the above scenario, but I would not exclude neonic poisoning as a reason for the disappearance of your bees.
I think the winds picked up - i can hear the sh!thouse door banging again!
