Next step is to let it mature and see if it's a viable queen. If it turns out to be a viable queen, I'd say it was likely a moved egg.
The first photo is the cell with the egg that was accepted and the second photo is the larva.
How will you determine viable short of mating and waiting??
Been cutting open a lot of queen cells this year, seen a lot of weird stuff, one or two with dead workers sealed in, one with a drone, many blanks. The dead mature workers has me a bit puzzled. Looks like they crawled in to clean it out and got sealed in? I have seen 4 or 5 like that this last week or two.
Tons of queen cells above the excluder, right close to it seems to be a popular place, not sure why that is?
