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

I don't think anyone mentioned that a queen will typically attach the 
eggs to the bottom of the cells whereas laying workers' shorter 
abdomens allow them to attach their eggs only to the sides of the 
cells.  You can find good pictures if you google 'laying workers.'
