Re: They won’t eat fruit!
It is essentially a common new colony misconception. When we see ants in the wild or on tv, there are many ants and they devour whatever they are eating right. In the case of a new colony, you’re only looking at a dozen or less ants. Consider how small an individual ant is. Now, consider how small t...

Re: SW Ohio: Worker Identification
I don’t know what they are but by the photos they look large which goes along with your Camponotus suggestion. Either way they are amazing to look at.

Re: Workers dying, dead in nest.
I was also going to say water. I believe that is what happened to my colony, they were not moist enough and essentially dried up and died, poor ladies.
