C. essigi - So, as previously mentioned this colony had a random die off. There is only six workers as shown and some brood, I think the larger cocoon may be a median.

C. ocreatus - This queen already has nine eggs, I don't really expect more.

C. sp. - I took the picture with the C. ocreatus as a size comparison to show how large the queen is. Besides that, they are up to 14 workers and a lot of their eggs are now hatching into larvae. I am going to move them into a tubs and tubes setup soon so that I can give them 24/7 access to sugars.
