Why do I have dead bees in the honey trough?

I remember seeing that post also. There was a gap between the bottom channel and the cells big enough for the bees to squeeze through. Can’t find it for the life of me… though I did stumble across this one… Bees inside the flow hive frame channel where honey should be

Also, it’s worth checking the tension is the wires. If they are not tight enough, the bottom channel may possibly splay open.
