  This time however, the bees turned the eggs into workers instead
of queens.  I removed these worker cells and repeated the experiment Once
again, the bees made only workers and not queens.  All the time, I was
ensuring that no other queen or queen cells were in the hive.

My guess is the hive is queenright. As you no doubt know scut queens move
around the hive when the hive is disturbed.
