Mike,
Sometimes it seems that if a virgin is in a hive the bees get a little 
testy. I would recommend after removing anything looking like a queen cell, 
that you put a slab of brood with plenty of clinging bees -but no queen- in 
the hive. Make sure you have some larvae of proper age for growing a queen. 
They will probably  try to grow a queen cell if it is queenless.Should know 
within 3 days.
