>>> it is my understanding that there is a bit of glue that attaches the egg to the bottom of the cell so how would anyone explain the attachment of the egg to it new cell?.....<><><>   If a bee moves an egg to a new cell, does it necessarily have to be attached?  Could it not lay on the bottom of the cell at the juncture of the side walls and then, when hatched, the larva could migrate over onto the layer of larval food?  Or the larval food could be placed adjacent to the egg and as it bends to the hatching posture could drop down on top of the larval food.   Conjecture on my part.
