That’s pretty hard to answer with out macro lens (I don’t have one myself) so the best guess at least 20 minimum and 30 or so as maximum (since this is a fairly mature colony). If It were in founding stage, the minimum would be at least 12 and the maximum (usually but not always rare) 20 eggs in one batch.Of how many eggs?
