Nice frame!  White white white

I've found that capped honey is a suggestion to the queen, not a barrier.

good pic of the behavior around the queen, although they are usually a little more crowded.

Like most ladies of the house, she must be inspecting the work to make sure it is to her liking.  :-D Nice picture of how white the new wax is.

How many frames are in this observation hive?

She could be out of room to lay in and is just checking out the other frames.

Just 2 frames and the bottom frame was full as it is almost completely full of capped brood now.  I have since replaced full frame of honey with new frame and foundation. She probably was wandering around looking for empty cells.
