Hello fellow ant lovers!

I got home and thought I would check on the Solenopsis queens I caught on May 3rd 2017. To my some what surprise (not really Solenopsis don't surprise me anymore, they are just AWESOME!) the queens I caught just over a month ago have already hatched their nantics! Yep a little over 30 days and POOF 3 new colonies have come into the world! I'm soooo happy!! I shot a short video of them and posted it below.

Hope you enjoy then as much as I am!!!

And as Mikey says "Ant Love Forever!"

Ok like I said in the previous video, I decided to go ahead and give them their first bit of food beings there were so many nantics already and I know the Queens could use some nourishment also. DING DING DING DING DINNER TIME!!!!!!!!!

First nantic: "Hey did you hear that?"
Second nantic: "No what?"

First nantic: "It sounded like the dinner bell!!!!!"
Second nantic: "I wonder what's on the menu tonight?"

First nantic wanders aver to the strange drop and takes a sip: "IT'S HONEY!!!!!!!"
Second nantic: "Seriously? I'm going to tell everyone else!!!!!"

Second nantic runs over to her sisters and Mother and yells " HONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


And the rest is for video history!

"Ant Love Forever!"
