​I didn't catch them in the act, but can give testimony that honey bees
move eggs.  Submitted for your approval: I set up a queen bank.  After a
few weeks, way too long to bank queens (but that's a whole different
topic), I "refreshed" the bank by swapping in a frame of young larvae and
eggs (no queen) in positin 2 of a 5-frame bank.  Abut a week or so later I
found a very impressive, sealed queen cell on frame 4.  So the bees either
moved an egg from frame 2 or from one of the banked queens.  I suspect the
former.
