Solenopsis queen's eggs not hatching

[Aaron567]

I have been keeping a Solenopsis Invicta queen since May 10 but I'm pretty sure she has no larvae. She now has a pile of eggs and she seems to keep laying eggs, but even her first eggs have not hatched. I've been checking on her and some of her eggs may have started turning more yellow in color. Does this mean they are hatching soon or does it mean they have a disease and are rotting? Could it be a problem with temperature? They are away from air conditioning but don't really have a source of heat. I will provide pictures if they are needed.

keep them i tiny bit above room temp. (room temp is 72 deg. f.
be patient, they take a month to three months.

The eggs take 1-3 months just to hatch? I thought they only took a few days lol. When I went to go take a picture of her today, I noticed she actually does have larvae so that makes me relieved. Here is a picture though.

dont sweat it, those eggs look just fine. now you just have to be patient for a while. just make sure she isnt disturbed too much and wont run out of water.

Lol, not at all. once a colony gets big, you get thousands upon thousands of eggs, larva, and pupae at a time.

I'm curious now if those eggs ever hatched

Is this a huge colony? No. I said there was a lot of eggs for a queen in the founding stage
