>I see this often with freshly mated queens in small nucs--sometimes a dozen eggs per cell.<


Last April I saw a queen on an inner cover popping out eggs and nurse bees behind her eating those eggs. I was behind schedule on space management and the brood nest was plugged up and she had no room to lay.

I managed to take a few photos and a short video of the queen laying an egg on the inner cover.
