I have found out that on you tube some people managed to merge colonies i have ten lasius niger colonies should i try merging them ?

If people are merging it with positive results then I'd say go for it. But try merging 2 colonies and see the results before merging all.

Ok tnx for help i haw connected the two test tubes and now waiting for results you will be the first to know

Good luck big guy.

Bad news attemp nubmer one did not suceed they jsut tried to steal each others eggs i will try again tomorrow with other two colonies i hope that i will suceed that time

If you like your colonies happy and healthy, don't do stuff like this. Lasius niger are monogynous.

Not sure if attaching test tubes directly to one another is a good idea at all. Maybe try adding some out world in between those test tubes so they don't just end up exiting their nest and entering the rivals nest if that makes any sense.
