English: A frame from a beehive, showing the common radial layout in the way the bees use the frame. In the centre, where the bees can best maintain environmental conditions, are the brood cells containing baby bees. These cells are brown and black. The brown are capped cells with bees just about to emerge. The black cells are empty since the bees have recently emerged. The queen has just laid eggs (white dots) in many of these cells, to raise the next generation. The next ring outward is pollen. This is of various colours, typically orange in this case. These cells are not capped, so the hexagon structure is visible. Outside of that again is the honey storage area. This is most easily seen on the right side of the image. Some of these cells are still open, and the glistening of the honey is evident. Some bees have their heads down in the cells loading up on honey (this is at least partly a panic reaction to the smoke and opening of the hive). Some honey cells are closed over with wax (capped), and these cells have a characteristic variability of surface texture. As the bees grow in numbers they reallocate the cells to different uses. In the background is the plastic substrate, which is preformed with hexagons as a starting pattern..
