First time beekeeper here and I am cleaning up my hive that did not make it through the winter. I was trying to harvest the frames that had honey but I found that a lot of the honey cells were tough to scrape and had this chalky pollen-colored stuff behind the cells. What does it look like to you? Is it pollen behind the honey or something else?
