This came to my personal email for some reason.  Since it seems constructive, I am passing it on.

If worker bees moved eggs

First one issue   is If the queen cemented the egg to the bottom of the cell     Then  if a worker bee were to remove the egg from its position (A) to another position.  How would it deal with the fact that the queen cemented it to the bottom of the cell. If the bee tried to remove it would not part of the chorion membrane tear as the bee tried to remove it from its position? and 2, In the process of removing and moving it  would the worker bee's mandibles be involved and if so would it have to bite the chorion layer of the egg? Or if it some how it uses its legs to remove the egg still the chorion layer etc would likely be torn. And then how does the worker bee re cement the egg so neatly in another cell  by neatly I mean it looks like and egg  position as a queen may only be capable of doing.
