 >I have heard that bees can rob eggs from other hives

How would robber bees transport stolen eggs back to their own hives? 
Would they carry the eggs in their crop and reguritate them while back 
in their own hives? Would they toss them into their pollen baskets? 
Would they carry them in their mandibles? Have any researchers 
documented bees stealing eggs?
Just curious.
Regards,
Dick Allen
