my question followed by a Peter Borst snip... 
> I would ask anyone that thinks that workers can move eggs to explain how physically are these eggs attached to the new cell.

This was worked out years ago by Steve Taber:

my question repeated....
really Peter my question was (which by the way was suggest to me by Danny Weaver) is (and hopefully better composed this time around).... how would the eggs be reattached?  Plainly this was not a question concerning how the egg could be moved mechanically, but in how was it reattached. In one of Randy Oliver's comments he seem to say the eggs were laid into the cell without attachment. If laid flat would you expect these to develop normally?
