Whats size is yours colony? (number of workers) .Myrmica rubra is orange/brown/a bit black ant and queen is coloured like worker ,maybe more dark like workers ,but only bigger. When are there new eggs ,it is possible ,you have queen there.

It came with about 26 and I think I have 4 dead probably off old age I hope and I cant see the eggs atm because they've hid them in the ant world

How many would a colony off 22 lay eggs? one a day only ? I have fed them some sugar and there going down the tube to eat it and Im going to feed them an insect when I find one :d

Hehe ,nobody never wrote ,how many eggs can lay colony of some species. It is very discussable question ,because it all stay on queen. They must be good feed ,after that ,there must be good temperature and humidity and the last think is ,she must be in static period - period when queen laying eggs. In my colony ,what I had 3 months ago ,it was sometimes 5 eggs per day ,no more.
It is all what I can help you with this
