Certainly talk to him if you are worried. But it is inevitable there will be a few bees left behind after the hive is taken. They were probably away foraging at the time.

Bees can't survive for long without a hive, so will die after a few days.

The exact time will depend on the weather and the availability of nectar. But in any case the lifespan of a bee means that even with a hive they wouldn't live for more than three or four weeks of foraging.

Another point of comfort: The queen will have gone with the hive. Worker bees on their own can't breed. Although female, they've never been mated, and can't be.
