Mom still hasn't covered over the cells. I guess it is due to the cool weather conditions ?

    Good one - might be cool weather- they are suppose to hatch in a few days I think. Don't think the cells are covered until the grub is ready to pupate - the workers have to feed the developing grubs.

    Strange fact, I have not seen any others attending to the nest.
