Here's a picture of the comb I pulled out:
Beautiful yellow wax, apparently not from the sugar syrup, because that was almost untouched. This piece of comb had nectar stored in it, and upon further inspection - eggs. Crap. The good news is that the queen was released. The bad news is that I pulled out a big piece of comb with new eggs on it. I figure it's too late to put it back in and have the eggs be viable. At this point, I know I have a laying queen so I'm going to leave the hive closed for two weeks and see what I find then.
Another pretty picture:
