massive brood

[slacker361]

today i did an inspection, when I pulled out a deep frame , I though to my self wow this frame is heavy , when i looked at it, i thought wow that must be a hole frame of honey, so i gave it a little scrape with my hive tool just to make sure, but is was a full deep white plastic frame if brood. wow did that have a little bit of weight to it. and it was completely filled both side not a skip in the brood pattern. My queeny has been "workin it" also saw some bees bringing back pollen and I havent seen that in a couple of months

o by the way there was another frame that was almost completely full ,

Sounds like your bee population is about to explode!  Congratulations!

We have one hive that sounds just like that.  Multiple frames full of worker brood.  I'm a little worried that the population is going to explode in the middle of our dearth and they will eat all their honey stores.  I'm thinking MORE BEES is not always a good thing.  :-D

right now I think they are living hand to mouth I see some stores of honey but not much. the thing i find confusing about this is i thought that the brood pattern was kinda dome shaped with brood pollen and honey this frame is strictly brood no honey or pollen.

Also there are some frames full of comb and bees seem to be cleaning it but that is it, nothing else being done on those frames. should I just take them out and replace with new frames

The bees will use the unused comb when they need it.   Leave it in there and you save them a lot of work.  And give your queen a gold star for a good job.
