Trail Twister,
In case no one told you, the "dark stuff" and "red tinted stuff" is pollen.

Yep, it's pollen, which is packed down into the cells. When you have the combs out next, watch a bee coming in with loaded pollen sacks, on her legs, and then follow where she goes on the comb. She'll find a cell with identical pollen, and if deemed to have enough space, she'll pack it down into the cell. It's fascinating to watch, and well worth spending a few minutes over.
