i am a beginner, and I've noticed that a thick layer of mold is growing inside a test tube containing an unidentified queen along with around 6 workers, but every attempt at moving them has failed, I've tried everything, from a light to cold and heat, I've even tried taping the tube lightly and poking the cotton with a swab taped to a wood stick, i fear that if i don't get them out quickly they'll die.
Help!
Also, since I'm writing this from my smartphone, i can't include a photo, sorry.

For some reason, it won't let me upload images, even from my computer...
