Looks like they were flash frozen in place. All dead.

I dunno, but whatever it is we need to find out. Quick. And spread the hell out if it.

Whoever is poaching your land sprayed them

damn, I have never seen anything like that...looks to be some parasite has infected the nest. I am not sure why they all died at once and appear to have not moved since, though...

Why aren't they burning? They should be burning.
As for what happened to them, a type of "mind controlling" fungus. Basically the fungus develops inside the wasp and when the time is right, modifies the wasp's behavior so that it becomes more conducive to spreading the spores of the fungus. Basically that fungus caused the wasps to cling to the nest (elevated area) before killing them where the spores would spread easier. Cordyceps species that infects ants and turns them into "zombies" too.

Whatever killed them, I hope made them have a slow and painful death.

fungal or parasitic, look at the growths coming out of the dead wasps.
