> building what I'd call supersedure cells on the sides of combs that were started from worker
larvae as opposed to an egg laid in a cup.  I'm curious as to the degree of
prevalence of this, as opposed to the "pure" supersedure that you refer to.

I will look hard at these in future, but my gut feeling is that what I would consider to be supersedure cells are never built from worker cells - the structure is just totally different.  Perhaps the race of bee is significant here?
