AstroAmbitions: Can Lasius niger eggs drown? (15. Jul 2014 19:54)

I have a queen who has a large amount of eggs, but it appears that some of them have fallen into a small water droplet that I can only presume has come from the cotton wool stopper in the test tube. Will this kill the eggs or is there a chance they will live if the queen pulls them out quick enough? She has a healthy amount of eggs that seem to be safe so the colony as a whole should not be in any immediate danger, but it would put my mind at rest if someone could let me know :) Thanks
