A mature florea nest, about 1 ft across. Honey is stored in a rather cylinderic column near the top. Worker brood is solid in the center, separated by a few rows of pollen cells from the much larger drone cells on the outer rim. Notice there are two queen cells hanging down.

There are two cells on the bottom right corner that look like the queen cells that the European hony bees build when they're about to swarm. Are they?
