Rich, the cappings of honey are very white, and usually near the top of the frame. The cappings for brood are in a cirular shape in the center of the frame and are more 'golden' color, or tannish (if that's a color). They brood caps are slightly rounded too, the honey caps lie pretty flat. Sorry I don't have a pic off hand. The pic in this thread is brood, if you've ever seen a picture of comb honey, that is very smooth surface, very white, that's capped honey. Hope that helps.
