Don't do anything. If you have a laying queen, the bees have the raw materials to make a new queen when they feel they need one. It's been posted here before that there are laying workers in most hives, but the bees control the unfertilized eggs. Also note that queens will, on occasion, lay multiple eggs per cell. The bees take care of it!

Do nothing -- I like that answer! ;-)

Thanks!

All hives have laying workers. If the workers are not cleaning the up fast enough, they accumulate. Normally they clean these up.
