this picture shows a frame nicely drawn-out with honeycomb. there is only a small area in the left corner where there is still just foundation without comb on it. the girls have done a good job with this frame and soon they will begin to fill it. there is a pattern for what they put where on the frame, and the picture below shows the pattern.
in the picture below, lawrence is holding a frame from jamaica's hive. you can see the yellow capped honey in the upper left corner and there was also some in the upper right corner. the amber colored cells in an oval in the middle are jamaica's daughters (capped brood) which will need several more days to hatch out as baby worker bees. there was nectar and pollen in the cells at the sides. there were no drone cells or queen cups on this frame.
