I was thinking of catching some queens and selling them on the GAN but I don't know if anyone would buy.

Pretty sure there's gan farmers around there already?

It doesn't hurt to try your luck in the Ant Market! Good Luck!

Yeah, there's just no one in the Bay. If anyone here wanted to buy a queen ant they'd have to drive 2-3 hour drive to Sacramento or Sonora, then they'd have to drive 2-3 hours back. I think there are like 2-3 other people on the forum who are in the Bay who said they can't find queens so maybe I could have a shot.

I live in the bay, and it would be great to have a farmer here.

I have 9 Lasius alienus queens now with eggs. When they have workers I'll put them up on the GAN project.

That's awesome! Did you find them in the bay, or were they from elsewhere.
