I have two camponotus hurculeanus queens. Queen 1 and 2 are about a week apart as far as when I placed them in their test tubes.
They are both laying eggs. Queen 1 has a small clust of eggs and started about a week after I put her in her tube. Queen two has laid a ton of eggs and they're kinda scattered.
My question is, is there any way to know if they are fertile? Can I put a toothpick tip of honey in for them?
They've been in tubes for 2-3 weeks.

Re: Camponotus queen question.
Good to know thanks! It's a shame this is the only species in alaska. But oh well this particular species grows faster than most camponotus from what I understand. I've been told that they tend to get their first worker in just a month and a few days!
