> I have been running a queen bank since late May.  Twice I have cycled in a
pair of brood frames, checking a few days later to see if the bees were
attempting to raise queens on the brood frame.  I was surprised to find a
queen cell with developing queen on one of the frames that had been in the
bank all along.  Proof positive that the bees had moved an egg!  Granted,
it's a small test case (n=1) but it does happen.
