Among the older capped brood, there are some cells (about 20)
which are uncapped and contain what look like pupae. I say it's
a pupa because it's not a fully-formed bee and it's not a larva.
To be precise, the "pupa" takes up the entire cell and I can see
his little face (larva don't have faces) looking out.
 
My state beekeeping inspector pointed out a few of these "Bald Faced Brood"
in my hives.  When we dug them out of their cells, low and behold a wax
moth larvae/worm wriggled out.  Try digging yours out, you may be surprised
yourself.
 
Have fun, and bee good <g>,
