Wish I knew, will be interesting hearing the experienced chime in. Will be a learning experience for me. Good Luck. G
I believe the workers do move the eggs, if I'm not mistaken. They sort it out and get just one into the cells. Here in this area of the frame where the multiple eggs are they haven't had anything realy progress because they can't feed the eggs. They can't feed them because they can't move the extras out into their own cells (because they filled them all with food!). So, they have to wait and do nothing. As such, the eggs in these cells which were here 4 days ago haven't been able to be fed and grow into grubs. Only a handful made it that far as of yet. So, they really need the room! You would think these issues would have those bees building up the comb!Beautiful photographs! Intuitively, i would have thought it highly unlikely that a queen would lay more than a single egg in a given cell. I'll be following the responses with great interest!
PS: What will happen to those eggs? Will only one egg thrive within the cell, or are they all doomed? I seem to remember reading that they don't move eggs from cell to cell ...
