Hello,

Today I saw what looked like the 1:1 being stored in some of the empty cell of the brood frame.

What I mean is that there were a large group of caped over brood,then on the outer edges, there were "C" shape larvae, but in some the the uncaped cells, in the middle and around the cap'd brood, they were storing the 1:1 sugar water...
I found the queen and moved here from the outer edged were she was to the middle and put a empty frame of comb(that was on the other side) beside her.
Is this normal for them to store stuff in brood....????

Thanks
Steve C

They gotta feed those white little rascals.
The girls will feed the larva a mix of
nectar and pollen (called beebread for some
reason), my guess is the keep cells with
nectar close to the larva.
