Pheidole eggs or larvae?

So I have a pheidole queen and she has eggs and what I think to be larvae? It looks like yellow eggs but she has white eggs...I posted a video. I used the idea that batspiderfish posted and that was to tape a laser lens onto the front of my iPhone camera and it worked quite well. Don't mind my trying to focus it and get the lens right at one point in the video. So questions are:

1.Does she have young larvae or any larvae at all?

2. I have had her for just under a month now, so should I fed her some protein? (I gave her honey yesterday)

3.Does it take a full month for eggs to turn into larvae?

Alright, how long does it take for egg to larvae? And then from larvae to pupae?

Raising Several Pheidole Colony Successfully, I'll Say It Takes About A Month, Or So.
