Help with P. Imparis info
Hello AntsCanada ant forum! I am a new ant keeper and About a month ago. I checked on her a few days ago and she had laid 2 eggs! I was very excited. I checked on her yesterday and she still only had two. I keep her in a very standard test tube setup with a little honey (which I haven’t seen her ever drink probably b/c she is full cholesterol or however you spell it) wrapped in tin foil on my bookshelf. I was wondering; is it normal for p. Imparis to lay this little amount of eggs? I am grateful for any feedback

Re: Help with P. Imparis info
You may not want to add honey or food to the test tube as she is a fully claustral queen and the food could rot in the test tube, wait for her first workers to emerge before giving her food.
