💗🐝Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!🐝💗

I forgot to share a picture of the eggs I found in Resource Hive #2.

Talking with one of my more knowledgeable (than me) beekeeping friends, he said I can go ahead and remove the queen cells we found in hive#1. I don't want to take the chance of one hatching and fighting with the new Queen we just placed in there. One will die and I don't want to lose my new Carniolan queen. So, I need to get back into the hive today and take care of that.

How long is incubation on bee eggs?

16 days for Queens
21 days for workers
24 days for drones

I should have taken care of it yesterday. It just completely threw me off, as I wasn't expecting to find something like that. I'm still pretty new to this and learn something new almost every time I get into the hives.
