Re: What should i do with the brood
No, wait until this one dies. It's unlikely the brood will be accepted.

How long can they survive without the queen and i beleive these queens are a fire ant species and i known they will do brood raiding partys in the wild i dont see why they wouldnt accept the new queen or visa verca this is my first time so all information is helpfull
Re: What should i do with the brood
To be sure, post pictures You could very well try introducing the brood though I am unsure if it will be accepted.

Re: What should i do with the brood
That is a RIFA queen, I believe. You could try introducing the brood on a clean q-tip or cotton swab. The queen might be a bit frightened at first but probably will take the brood. It might get eaten, though.

Is rifa a type of fire ant ? And yeah im going to try even if she eats them at least her and her brood will be better off

RIFA is the Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta.
