Yoon,
Your manipulation is fine - but as you say, one has to be 100% sure that there are no eggs!

If that is the case, or you are confident that is the case - then you have saved yourself a trip.

But if doing many splits - the time taken to "ensure" that no eggs are present might easily outweigh
the time used in a second trip and removal of unwanted queen cells.

There again - removing unwanted queen cells isn't always 100% successful either as the odd one is
missed!

You takes your choice!

Regards
Peter
