First Brood Comb Removed
The brood area consisted of two fairly straight combs arranged parallel to the wall cavity. The outer one has been removed, exposing a smaller amount of brood and lots of nectar on the second comb. You can also see a couple patches of cells of pollen in the lower part, and capped honey on top.
