male bettas don't have the eggs the females have the fry and put them in the bubbles maybe what you saw was him pooping.

he doesn't drop them, they fall out by themselves
It's actually the job of the male to put them back up there
Also, make sure that you don't have more then 6 inch of water in there to make his job easy on him, or he will get frustrated and start eating them
Here is an article with pics and more info

Hope that helps

Well, it's normal for him to drop it since it's so hard carrying eggs in your mouth.

I think it's probably pretty normal. I would just leave him alone and let him do his job.
