Peter Borst:
Well said Peter concerning actual queens laying multiple
eggs in cells. Happens with new queens, hives too small,
early spring start ups, and sometimes following killoffs of
field force with spraying forcing nurse bees to hit the
field faster. Makes one wonder how many good queens are
sacrificed when nothing wrong with them, and in actuality
they may be the better queens for productivity and egg
laying for large colonies.

How does one seperate these type queens from laying workers
by the way? Are there any keys to look for for differences?
