I make up cell builders by raising sealed brood above an excluder, leaving 
queen and sealed brood below. 9 days later, the day before grafting, I 
check the entire hive for started cells. I start 4 or 5 cell builders at a 
time. Each round, I find at least one that has an egg in a queen cup, above 
the excluder.

Any ideas on how that egg got above the excluder. It seems it was either 
carried there by a worker, or laid there by a worker. Hardly seems that 
there would be a laying worker that quickly, I almost think it must have 
been carried.

I wonder if there is a Wyatt Magnum type photo out there of workers 
carrying eggs.
