The second one is Acromyrmex for sure.

Uhm... What? Did the account that made this thread get deleted or something?

Bye guys!

You got these from the Costa Mesa GAN Farmer, correct?

That is not really true, you can find 17mm test tubes anywhere.

Also bee mites probably do not bother ants.

That is a pretty high price for a couple of plastic test tubes.

This was solved elsewhere. Due to the fact that it was so dry this year, it is likely that many alates just tore their wings off early and started serving as workers. According to who I got this information from who has worked extensively with this species, this has been observed before.

No. You are not going to be finding bee mites in processed honey.

Wait... How/why did so many accounts get deleted?

Alcohol.
