bugs on brug
Hi Dixie!!! I'm a newbie from Arky and I do not have the answer to your problem but, I bet someone will come along right away to help you. Stay tuned, LOL!!!!
Mealy bugs are white and cottony looking and you probably won't see them move. Yellow eggs under the leaf sounds more like a butterfly of some kind or even box elder bugs. There are several things it could be. If the eggs are hatching out, you could have small worms on there that aren't very noticeable. They are generally on the under sides of the leaves.....but I'm no expert so maybe someone else will have a better idea.
This is a good site for IDing some bugs.
