You are counting your brood before they enclose. If one queen died in the tube and the queens did nothing, mold could kill your queens.
nah. i check on them and break any fights. no deaths so far!
That is great! Watch my fire ant queens kill each other at first signs of workers.
hmm. i guess that's their natural habits... though it would be pretty sad to watch them
keeping:
all my queens died :(
got a sugar ant colony started :)
