>>is the bees moved the egg over !!!!!!!!? Has anyone come across this =
>>before.

Two days ago a fellow beekeeper found a capped queen cell in a super that
was above a queen excluder and two full supers of honey (i.e., it was the
3rd super). There were no other eggs or larvae anywhere in that super or
the two supers below it. The queen was still in the bottom deep. The hive
was preparing to swarm but all the other queen cells were in the bottom two
deeps. One is led to believe that a worker moved a single egg all the way
up there unless a worker herself laid the egg.
