Egg Laying
Egg laying refers to the queen's reproductive activity, with a healthy queen capable of laying up to 2,000 eggs per day during the peak season. The laying pattern, visible as a compact area of cells containing eggs, is an important indicator of queen quality. Irregular or spotty laying patterns may signal queen problems or disease.
