Lasius Queen Laid Eggs! What now?

I've recently caught two Lasius queens and both started laying within 3 days. I also have worries about one of them as one has laid around 8 eggs and they look bulky and healthy, well as the second queen has only laid 3 and the eggs appear much smaller even though they laid around the same time. Should I be concerned? Also, how long would it take for a worker to come out and be walking around.

even though i'm a bit of a noob but I know this 1. You gots to wait and then wait some more. Try to keep the disturbances down to a bare minimum, its going to be a couple of months or even longer before you see any real ant 'action'.
perhaps the difference in egg size is 1 maybe clumps of eggs while the other is singular, I have 2 queens in the cupboard doing their thing, 1 has laid about 20 eggs, the other has laid the first 1 somtime over the weekend.
basicly the #1 rule is just leave them alone to do their thing.
