also how long does it take the first eggs to develop into larvea and cocoons?

dont tip them out at all leave them alone.....!

have you read anything about ants

if it is possible try to connect the ants test tube to the nest or if you can just place the test tube in the in the nest thats great to
let the ants and her queen take there own time founding there nest site..
you will put your colony through undue stress it you just tip them out and if you do tip them out the eggs usually just stick to the tube so you could loose your future workers

and eggs take around well it can depend on many factors.. but in good conditions around 4 weeks

How about hibernation, anyways? put em away in a dark cold place and wait till march.

How about some preparation before buying animals?
