The picture is one that Don Forbes took when the laying worker hive was opened, and if you look closely, you might be able to see that there are two eggs laid in some of the cells Have you ever seen a laying worker hive? I have one now - the swarm hive that Don helped Susan catch, the queen failed and now its a classic laying worker hive. I am planning on combining it with another hive (which of course decided to supercede) so I won't do it until I know that hive has a good queen. My other hive has a very strong queen but it is going so good I don't want to play with it.
