So I know fully claustrial queens can't but can semi claustrial queens?
I had a colony of cardiocondyla with many workers and for some reason I saw 3 queens in the outsole and in the nest all the workers were dead. Can I put the queens in the same tube or can I even put them in tubes so they can repeat founding stage. Just a side note there are 2 queens in the nest caring for the brood which are eggs and small larvae
Can already established queens restart the founding stage.

No most queens don't seen to be able to restart founding stage, they simply can't care for themselves.
Hi I'm Jack, How are you?
Re: Can already established queens restart the founding stage.
I fed them some honey and the queen in the outworld left and went into the nest and fed the other queens. They are semi claustrial queens.

Still, they most likely will not survive.

If they lost their first brood, yes they can (they might need sugar water and a protein source like a small spider though).
If they're from an established colony, no.
Basically once queens have passed the founding stage they become incapable of caring for themselves, let alone their brood.
