I had a Nuc with a swarm that had a virgin queen that I had been giving syrup. It never drew the combs like crazy. I did my first check the other day and they had stopped at about 4 of the 6 frames and then filled them with nectar/syrup. I could not find a queen and after putting in a test frame with a couple of eggs/larvae they drew a couple of queen cells. I was going to unite them this evening and saw a patch laid up with a couple of double eggs. I assumed maybe a newly laying queen. But then on the other side and multiple frames I saw loads with dozens of eggs. A few eggs in the nectar. I don’t think any of them were standing up. I’m guessing laying workers?
