Why my queen ant won't raise her brood
I have two Camponotus pennsylvanicus they both keep laying eggs but then they eat them its been a year now and still no workers. Is there any suggestions?

I'm not sure what's going wrong with them, but they will probably need insect protein at this point. By one year, do you mean they were caught last May?

If the queens have been eating their own brood for this long, they probably need protein.

It seems I misunderstood these as freshly caught queens, you are correct.
