That is laying workers. They started when the excluder was on. If the new queen and worker brood didn't stop them, then shaking out is the way I would go.

Before it goes to total chalk there is a small discoloured spot on the larvae, that is the start of the chalk brood.
Do you have access to queen cells from a queen breeder, adding a cell that is ready to hatch may work as the bees will treat it as a supersedure and accept the new queen.

When the lid goes back on, the bees will spend the next 3 days undoing most of what the beekeeper just did to them.

I recently had a older queen started doing this, almost like she had a plug and then multi eggs like this, I think she was laying blanks and culled her, new queen and it?s back on track.I too thought laying worker but like stated before it was in the bottom and then found the queen and watched her drop a couple eggs in one cell.

Thank you Pump?..I did see those posts. I have shaken the bees out of that hive and dismantle it. They ended up in the hive next to it.  Hopefully the laying worker bees don't start up there and try to kill that queen!

The dog is Taffy. She is a 13 year old Border Collie. She is my first love! The bees are my second.
