Color doesn't indicate they are majors. When the colony grows queen will lay major eggs when it think it's time.

It is interesting that u said the eggs were white and now yellow. May be they just grows from egg to larvae and color changed. I am interested about this. I only pet asia ants right now(I live in asia) and have not yet see any different color eggs with same queen.

My C. singularis only laid yellow eggs when i first had them, but now she lays white. Only normal workers and medias came from either colour. Perhaps a difference in environment has an effect on the colour.

I still think just because they grow and is becoming larvae so the yellowish color fade to white. As I see in the picture the white egg is larger than the yellow ones. Btw really nice picture! What model the camera is?

I agree,Camponotus's eggs are yellow usually.
