Moving Apartments
I currently have a camponotus Queen who started laying eggs about 9 days ago. I am about to move to a new apartment about 20 minutes away and I’m wondering what the best option for transporting her is. I was planning to put her in a shoe box with socks around her in the cab of the car, but I am still worried the vibrations will stress her out and she will eat her brood. I will be moving in 5 days so it will be 2 weeks total since she laid her first egg. She currently has 9 eggs in a test tube set up in a drawer. Does anyone have advice for transporting new queens?
