Re: Help!Struggling to find queens in Singapore
Well, I'm in america, but I'm pretty sure the same tips apply to you.
1. look on sidewalks. the queens bodies will show up easily there
2. try to walk on sidewalks near lakes/rivers/streams. for some reason queens tend to like to hang out there.
3. If you get desperate, you can walk at night and use a flashlight. If you have a black light, use that and the queens are attracted to it.
4. keep your eyes on the ground at all times through out the day when your walking.
5. always carry test tubes or snap cap vials because you never know when you will find one.
I did not cover everything so here is one of AntsCanada's videos. the first part gives lots of tips.

Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I hardly every hunt for queens anymore, now that the pool in full. I could collect 30 a day if I needed that many . I highly suggest looking in bodies of water. Also look up black light traps for night flying sp. Don't worry they will come Look on warm days after big rainsPielikeDie wrote:Any1 out there that lives near or in Singapore know a couple tricks to catch queens in the tropics?

White walls around HDB block, it's much easier to spot them. And when you saw a male or queen, search nearby, you will find a few more.
