Cotton turning black?

The cotton in my test tube is starting to go black or dark. Is this mold? It's just a queen with eggs right now so I don't know how I'd relocate her.

There are some microorganisms which will take residence in the non-sterile test tube environment. The cotton turning black is nothing to be concerned about.

What about when it turns purple?
