Thanks,I tried honey and they ate some.I will try some apple today and see if they like it.This queen is a egg laying machine.

I am thinking red formica

Kinda second guessing what species I have.they were coming from a hole the ground,so they prefer to live underground.It will hard to get a pic of her in the foricarium.Hate to disturb her.Her color is a dark red all over,and the workers looked all the same size when they were moving.

Maybe they need more time to settle in.But the queen is laying eggs like crazy,I would guess there is around a hundred if not more.

Thanks Durant,I caught some termites today to feed them and they don't seem interested in them.

When the worker grabbed the queen she would ball up so the worker could carry her.
Thanks Durant,I don't know to post pics,besides my iPhone would not be that great.

after looking at different ant species it looks like they are Camponotus Castaneus.

Never mind they found it,they are moving the eggs and larva into the formacarium. whoop whoop.

Well I checked them this morning and still haven't found the formacarium yet.But defiantly it is a queen,she laid six eggs lastnight.Any tricks to get them in the formacarium.They are staying behind it but haven't found the entrance yet.

Thanks,just hope it is a queen.
