Hi, I am wondering if my Tetramorium queen is infertile because I got her in early may and she has only laid eggs. I am concerned since her eggs aren't even in pupa stage. Also if this is a sign, her eggs are totally white, with no black innards or moving organs. I hope someone can answer.

This queen isn't supposed to have pupae yet as this is the average time from egg to worker: Egg to worker= 6 weeks on average. All I can tell you is be patient and show restraint to not check on her.

Agreed, just wait it isn't that uncommon for them to be late bloomers, if they are in a neat pile probably fertile! Just be patient again.
