Re: RIP the first queen I ever caught!
To avoid something like this, it's best to check once per week on your queens. Maybe twice if you really want to keep track but not disturb them too much.
It is a learning experience and you will know it for the next time.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
