I can not tell you why some have white eggs and some yellow, maybe it is just the food they are having. As long as they are okay i don't see any problem with the eggs being not white.

For the record, some species have even black eggs. (Ectatomma ruidum)

Good for you. ;) The color of the eggs are not a problem, as long as the turn into workers.

With some species yes. But it is not good to leave the colony on a high temperature to long. Just try to give them the same as the would have in nature, don't force things.

just because of the egg colours doesnt mean their infected. Most likely Different Species
