I've got to admit that I borrowed that picture from a site on the internet. Although it's not unusual for a beekeeper to see bees this closely, I'm usually too busy with my hands full of other things to be managing a camera at the same time.
This is a picture of bees on a brood frame. The tan colored cells that the bees are standing on are called "capped brood" and are baby bees in the pupal stage about to hatch out as adults. You can see some empty cells where they have already hatched.
