        Don't worry. The bees know what they're doing. As the year gos on they
will work down, and make the brood boxes heavier in preparation for
winter. The cells with pollen will be drawn deeper and toped off with
honey. In mid winter when brood rearing begins they will use both the
honey and the pollen in those cells to feed brood.
