For one thing it means the cells are well used and could potentially harbor mites or diseases. The insides get larger due to all the garbage left in them by successive generations of bees and the varroa love that.
Also it is a big attractant for wax moths, all that leftover protein
For them to dine on. It also seems to more susceptible to mold and mildew if the weather is wet or very humid
Life is a rush into the unknown. You can duck down and hope nothing hits you, or you can stand tall, show it your teeth and say "Dish it up, Baby, and don't skimp on the jalapeƱos."
