What I don't know... and can't think of a way to tell, is if the eggs are laid by the workers or by the new queens or both?
Also when they started raising queens (which I view as a direct response to their queen being dead) did they raise queens that are in some way different from those they'd raise for a nuptial flight?
They have culled a few of the queens they raised, and removed the wings from two.
I will see if I can observe who is laying these eggs (there are more) 3/3
