Here is one of the pictures I was talking about where the bees ate through the wax foundation near the bottom. It was whole when I put it in there and now there are only the metal threads left.
You can also see the brood pattern here is pretty solid for the area of the frame that they've already built the comb up for.
For those of you reading that don't know what brood is, it's the cocooned bee larvae that will soon become newborn bees. At some point I'm sure I'll make a reference post where I define a whole bunch of terms but until then...
For those of you wondering, no I did not miss the fact that I had the opportunity to make a terrible pun and call my first post "New Bee-ginnings." I just thought I'd save all the bad jokes to put all together at one time, so there.
