Expert Answer
The internal structure of a beehive is composed of thousands of tightly packed hexagonal cells made of beeswax.
Storage cells and brood cells are the two types of cells found in a beehive. Storage cells are present in the upper part of the comb and are used by bees to store honey and pollen. Brood cells are present in the lower part of the comb beneath storage cells. These house the brood i.e. eggs, larvae and pupae.
