Person working with bees
Tumbleweed Honey owner Ann Zumo holds a frame of ‘capped brood.’ Around the time the transformation from larva to pupa takes place, at about day nine, workers cap the cell, according to the website ‘PerfectBee.’ The color of the capped brood is darker, and also rougher, than cells that contain honey. The cap is porous, allowing the larvae (and eventually the pupae) to breathe.
