I have a hive that is starting to build up. They were started from a nuc last year and are Russians. I saw some cells with multiple eggs in them. Most of they only had single eggs and all were in the bottoms of the comb. Could the queen be laying like this or is a laying worker more likely. The brood that was capped looked normal. I know a laying worker produces only drones but do they look like normal drone brood when in a worker cell? Thanks for the replies.
A queen just starting will lay multiplies until she gets settled down to the routine. If they are on the bottom of the cell, it should all be fine.
i think you're ok.
If by "multiples" you mean two or three, you are probably fine.
