I found a reliable witness to
bees moving eggs: 

Gleanings in bee culture
1882 March  Page 126

One more corroboration was noted. In one hive, 
a queen was observed dropping eggs, not in cells, 
but on the top of the comb, whilst a number of bees 
were, with the utmost order and eagerness, watching 
and picking up the eggs, and placing tbem in cells. 
In this case, could the queen instruct the bees where 
each egg was to be deposited, If her will regulated 
the sex, or did they instinctively know the proper cell 
for each egg? It could scarcely be. The only warrantable 
and logical conclusion is, that the ova of a fertilized
 queen-bee, in a sense differing from that of a virgin 
queen, or even a fertile worker, belongs to neither sex, 
being for the time neutral, having its future sex determined 
by the cell In which it Is placed, and the treatment to 
which it is subjected by the bees. 
-K. Edward Montrose, Scotland, Dec. 5,1881.
