> Saying she's OK is the thing. There are those who pull and cage a queen as soon as they see eggs.
I worked for one of the largest Northern Calif producers in 1982. We always caged the queens as soon as there were eggs. Never waited to see the pattern. Always had enough queen cells so that a cell went in the very next day, no delays. Most queens were sold in April and May so to wait two weeks for a pattern would be the loss of the sale of tens of thousands of queens.
