Perhaps you did a typo; EFB larvae usually die before capping. AFB is the one that typically show the sunken cappings.hard to tell, if not honey, the only disease with sunken caps and dark cells is efb. the larvae die after their cell has been sealed, the cap may be perforated, sunken, concave and dark.
to bad pic is so small. so it's hard to read
you need to scratch some cells open to see what’s going on...
I'd do a mite count. those empty cells are most likely due to mites or could be the queen not 100percent laying. Overall good frame. You probably need more room if they are putting pollen in those empty cells.Thank you all. Very helpful.
I added another medium (I'm using three mediums instead of two deeps) cause I thought my current two were getting pretty full. I plan on doing a mite count in a week or two.I'd do a mite count. those empty cells are most likely due to mites or could be the queen not 100percent laying. Overall good frame.

Next inspection. I'm trying not to be into it too much.Yep, those in the center could be honey. Poke one with a tooth-pick. Enquiring minds want to know.

Actually, it's pretty obvious the frame is a wired foundationless frame and most of the open holes are over wires.I'd do a mite count. those empty cells are most likely due to mites or could be the queen not 100percent laying.

Not to a plastic guy lol. I'll agree now that you point out the pattern.Actually, it's pretty obvious the frame is a wired foundationless frame and most of the open holes are over wires.
