Hey Sebastian,

Your ant(s) will need access to water, protein (insects) and sugars. You can prepare honey/sugar water and add a test tube sealed with a cotton ball into their outworld for example. If you want to offer pure honey, make sure you only offer droplets (use a toothpick) so your ants won't get stuck. The easiest way to do this is by putting it on say a piece of foil, which you can remove once they've eaten everything.

To help identify your queen, we would need to see some pictures. Uploads your pictures to imgur.com and then copy and paste the BBCode into the text of your next post to display images.
