Frames are the hive components where all the various activities take place
A brood frame will have brood in the center and honey on the sides
- Honey frames
Initially bees build comb on top of the frames provided by the beekeeper
- Bees fill the comb with honey. They flap their wings on top of the comb to evaporate excess water.
- When the honey is just right the bees cap each cell with a thin layer of wax
It's True! The picture above shows capped cells on the outside, cells with uncapped honey in the middle (the uncapped honey is dark honey), and also empty cells (light cells).
