I made a few splits a few weeks ago and one ended up pretty weak, but did manage to squeeze a Queen cell out of it. An emergency Queen I assume.
Today, checking to see if Queen was out my timing was perfect to see her chewing through. The cell was entirely closed except for a tiny hole and movement behind it. I was able to open the cell a bit more w my hive tool and out she gently comes.

BUT .... that doesn’t look like a Queen to me!
Q1: can workers be a result of an emergency cell?
Q2: or am I just looking at a very small Queen?
These forums are always helpful to me, I appreciate your help today!
