What has happned to my darling?!?! she had 20 something workers and they all died. Its only her and that lonely worker. i moved her to a clean test tube and i noticed when they crossed over she was not as round on her gaster as before.
i tried feed them a tiny droplett of hunny to give her some energy.
i keep them in test tube setup in my closet that we dont use. so they arent disturbed.
Thanks on before hand

Only once I put the 2 test tubes together and cover the new with something dark to make them walk over.

Yea I killed some spiders from my basement and crushed them but she didn’t like it. I’m getting a delivery of maggots(not sure if that’s the right word) and small roaches on Monday

Re: Need help!!
I think that was your problem. It's a general rule of thumb not to feed wild bugs to your colonies as they may contain pesticides that can kill off your colony. Hopefully, your colony can recover.
