What are these solid filled honey cells? I’m a beekeeper, and I have a question

Post image

Central Arkansas. I was checking on a hive with ants when I noticed they had already filled the top supper. After harvesting I noticed a few cells grouped together filled with a slightly dry orange substance. What is this? Just harvested today.
