Hi,
I take it that it's just a case of scraping the comb back to the foundation and letting the bees rebuild? With multiple eggs in a cell will the bees clean up all but one? and yes the Q- problem has been sorted.

I had a queenless cast recently that developed a laying worker. Got the uncapping fork and slashed all of the cells with it.
 
Would it work to wash the eggs from the cells with a jet of water from a cycle type water bottle? Just an idea!
 
Ah alchemy....... you mean the eggs become desiccated coconut!! I wondered where that stuff came from :icon_204-2: (sorry.... and thanks. Makes sense)
