When checking my hives yesterday, I noticed that in several of them (the
strongest hives) virtually all of the combs in the brood box are filled with
pollen, in the lower boxes, and honey, in the upper boxs.  There is a little
brood near the bottom of the frames in the top box, and in burr comb
between the frames.
 
I had reversed the boxes in the spring.  The bees are Buckfast and I
have been diligent about putting on honey supers in plenty of time.
 
Why has this happened?  Is this cause for concern?  There is a good
honey flow going right now, I''m not sure what.
 
What should I do?  Should I remove some of the pollen frames, and put in
frames with new foundation?  I don't have any empty drawn comb.
Should I try to get the queen back in the bottom box?
 
Any comments would be appreciated.
