Laying Workers?

If you have another give you can combine and the new hive will take care of the laying worker.

Yes. That was gonna be my second option of they didn't accept the new queen. I really want to keep 2 hives, so I tried this first.

It you can get the queen great but that is not always the case and you have to make due.  Happened to me last year.  Also, when you see two or more eggs in a cell, don't wait.  Assume it is a laying worker.  The longer you wait the more bees die and the weaker the hive gets.

That is if the multiple eggs are on the sides of the comb. If they are on the bottom of the cells, you probably have a new queen.
