Jesse,
Often queens will lay more than one egg in a cell when:
1. Learning to lay eggs at the beginning of her laying career - may be
due to lack of experience in control of laying procedure
2. When there is a shortage of ready, polished cells to be laid in - as
often is the case when a package of bees are limited in number and can
only prepare a restricted brood area.

They are of normal appearance, unlike the disparate, disorganised egg
arrangement produced by laying workers.

The situation should rectify itself - leave the package to itself for a
few days.
Regards,
Peter
