pheidole bicarinata worker wait time?

[AntsRule]

How long does it take for a pheidole bicarinata queen to get workers? She is fully claustural right? I believe her gaster has started to swell with eggs. Then how long till majors with HUGE heads? Thanks!

Ummmm if her gaster is getting too big that could mean parasites...
Sorry I'm the negative one...

Usually it just mean they're filled with eggs though.

I hear that it's usually 2 month at the MOST. Probably because majors take longer to develop, but it could be maybe a month, or a month and a half or something.

Thanks every one! AnthonyP163 you mean two mouths till workers right? Not majors? I would expect majors to arrive once the colony gets into the hundreds.

Yes. Majors always come later.
