Newbie Conversation
I am a new member and am thinking of keeping ants but I am unexperienced so I have no idea where to find queen ants(any species) and what to do

Re: Newbie Conversation
I would suggest finding the AntsCanada youtube channel. If you go back to years before, there are TONS of tutorials that have plenty of info to get you started.LearningAntKeeper wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 9:05 pmI am a new member and am thinking of keeping ants but I am unexperienced so I have no idea where to find queen ants(any species) and what to do
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.

Re: Newbie Conversation
Test tubes can go from 5$ in bulk to 20$ in bulk. The easiest way to buy them is on Amazon I guess.
