I have a hybrid 2.0 and the caps, the end pieces that have tiny holes in them, can fall out of the nest. How do I stop this?

Just wondering. Did this ever get figured out?

We don't use the mesh anymore with our new Hybrid Nests. We had occasional problems with it, like in this case, so we had to design something different.

I use a test tube connected to an AntsCanada Test Tube Portal for my semi-claustral queens, like harvesters. The Test Tube Portal serves as a mini outworld. Place into the Portal bits of insects, crushed grains, crushed dog/cat food, small amounts of honey, or a sugar water test tube connected to an...

Did you forget the picture?

Can you confirm that these are okay to use as founding chambers? I have a queen Camponatus Floridanus in one and was worried i'd messed up, i'd feel a lot better if that's actually one of their purposes!

Yes, perfectly fine to use Ant Towers as founding chambers.
