This is one of things we look for with hive inspections to make sure we have a happy queen doing her job. The little white spots, that look like a grain of rice, are fresh eggs. You can also see the different stages of larvae before they cap off each cell for final growth.

Sharing a little information about stings just for awareness. For most people a little sting relief medication is helpful and your on your way. However..., it's not always an instant reaction or the same reaction each time.
These pictures are of my forearm and how a sting effects me. 5 mins after & 24 hrs later. I have steroids on hand and take them right away. John also has reactions to stings so as bee keepers trying to stay safe we also keep epi pens.
It can depend on the person, the area you get stung, what stung you and each time it can be a little different.
As you can see it doesn't stop us from working our bees🐝.
