And then there were five.

2 new workers for B today (up to 5 now). They have all moved back out from under the cotton wool ball and I think they are no longer freaked out by the blowfly, perhaps even eating it.
A is still carrying her larvae around, but there don't appear to be any pupae or workers for her yet - I suppose B fed her larvae on the bugs I put in her container and they grew quicker? Seeing as though they both had eggs/larvae on the same day, this seems to be the logical explanation..
The new queen has been carrying around about 6 eggs today. She is still quite jumpy/timid and doesn't like me moving her at all.
