| A brood box frame has very dark brown comb. |
Our second hive doesn't look good. Very dark brown/black comb in the brood box. The supers have a similar look. But there are some eggs in the cells and on the top photo you can see drones walking around, maybe the queens there somewhere.
Our bee keeping
books says, the tan/brown cap is brood. That means there should be little baby bees under these brown caps. You can see this in the bottom photo.

| Brood in a super |
There is a lot of bees in the hive so I hope it will be ok. But when I compare this hive with the other hive it looks poor. The other hive is dripping in honey! Heavy frames loaded with capped honey! We really don't know what we are doing, so I wonder if there is something wrong. Perhaps the hive swamped and the brown comb is because it's old and they are re-building the hive with a new queen.
