The eggs my queen ant laid are not hatching, please help
So I have a queen ant that I caught like in January or February, and the queen laid 3-4 eggs a little more than half way through March, but it’s now 3 months (June, 4th) after she laid the eggs and she has now had 6-7 eggs, but none of the eggs have hatched but the eggs have gotten slightly bigger, almost not noticeable in size difference but they now have a slight yellowish tinge on them. The queen is alive and sometimes moves the eggs around and takes care of them (at least I think she does). Someone please help me and tell me what’s going on and what to do, I have attached photos of the queen when she first laid eggs and of her now (June 4th).
The photos don’t show up when I post them, do they show up for you guys?
Sorry that the photos don’t show but she look like a queen and is almost completely black in color and doesn’t have any stripes or patterns and is normal size.

Eggs don't grow, so they are probably baby larvae.Kar123 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 04, 2018 5:38 pmSo I have a queen ant that I caught like in January or February, and the queen laid 3-4 eggs a little more than half way through March, but it’s now 3 months (June, 4th) after she laid the eggs and she has now had 6-7 eggs, but none of the eggs have hatched but the eggs have gotten slightly bigger, almost not noticeable in size difference but they now have a slight yellowish tinge on them.

Also if you are living in a Air Conditioned home that will slow growth in summer...put the test tube setup in your garage then you'll see a burst of activity when it goes from 74f to 104f....
