On July 10-14 I reported eggs collected. On the 11th I watched 2 females laying eggs. There were no eggs that hatched from 10, 12, 13, 14 collected eggs but about half from the 11th hatched. It appears that one female hung around my yard laying infertile eggs for five days. Of all the eggs collected in spring and summe, only 10 have been Queen. I have seen almost no Queens this year; saw many last year. Also fewer Gulf Frits. Eggs collected from 18 and 19 are hatching as usual with no Queens.
