Spoty brood pattern at end of season

Is a spotty brood pattern at the end of the season a problem now that the queen is laying less?

The bees are back filling with honey & pollen but there are still some empty cells

Its the end of the season.  That girl is starting to tone it down a little.

Looks fairly normal for this time of year to me.  Nice pictures.
