Help with my queen-help a noob
I caught a Camponotus chromaiodes queen in 9-15-16 she has not laid eggs or lost her wings. should i be worried.
Re: Help with my queen-help a noob
Not necessarily. She may be waiting until aafter hibernation to begin laying. As well many queens keep their wings well into colony founding. Just give her time. Happy Ant Keeping!

be sure its not a male, they keep their wings and i kept a male in a test tube for like 2 weeks because i thought it was a queen

I'm sure a male would be dead after two months.
