My Method of Founding a Colony

When the queen(s) lay eggs I will wait until they hatch into larva. After that I give the queen(s) small pieces of seeds/nuts and from what I've seen they all have accepted it and fed it to their larva, in which makes the first set of workers more healthy and maybe even faster growing.
