They have 6 workers, 4 pupae, a large larva, several smaller larvae, and around 15-20 eggs.

They have 7 workers, 4 pupae, and a pretty good sized pile of other brood. It seems like when 1 worker hatches, a larva pupates, so there is a constant 4 pupae.

They have 5 workers, 4 pupae, a couple large larvae, a few small larvae, and about 10 or so eggs.
The pattern continues, as there are always 4 pupae.

All workers escaped! They brought all brood with them, but the queen was too large to fit into the hole that led to the outworld!

She has pupae now.
She has 4 workers!
I just welcomed worker #5!
They still have 5 workers, and they have 1 pupa, 2 large larvae, 1 huge larva that is going to be a major some day, and countless other brood.
