Am I on my own when raising queens get so anxious waiting for those first eggs each visit ?

I do not over check them only check cells sealed, cells open/hatched then look for eggs, looking around every severn days but it just seems to take for ever waiting.

And when they eventually arrive you will be happy. I was accused of being unnaturally cheerful on Saturday night, which was down to me finding 4 new queens that looked fat and polished cells ready for eggs. In two of the hives it had been nearly 6 weeks and several test frames later.
