I’m just not quite sure how I’d go about selling them on the GAN. I don’t know if you’re able to sell single mated queens who have produced a couple wo...

I know, right. My parents aren’t really interested, they’re more worried about having pests in the house so all I can use is a small scale ant farm, but it’s really interesting. I’m awestruck by the dedication all of them have to their colonies. Sure, it doesn’t help that ants are really my only opt...

Hello. The other day was a Nuptual Flight and I managed to catch 6 queens. Can anyone tell me what they are?
