There is a little Steve- 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.
