Fruits are very good for big colonies but not for small colonies because they don't eat them fast enough so they start to mold. If you have a very dried nest actual sugar works and actual sugar dos not really mold. Small 1/4 in or less cuts of organic apple are great for my first nanitics. No mess ...
