One larvea in super

[badger65]

I got home late tonight. I had a quick look at the top super to see how full it was. To my suprise a saw a grub in one of the cells. A single one on its own, no eggs or any other grubs in any cells in the super. Any ideas about this random event.

Its the only thing I could think of. But only one larvea in a full super and no eggs is odd. Must have layed one egg then became a forager.

Strange isn't it,

I found a solo QC in a super last week, it was a super I had moved up from on top of the QX by putting a fresh super under it; I can only assume that someone had carried an egg through the QX and my moving the super up had made it remote enough from the brood for the bees to promote it to a QC.

Yes odd. This one is fat and C shaped like normal brood.
