This is some truly great news indeed! I am very glad for you and your colony!

Wow that is one heck of a spot you are in, if I could be of any assistance I will try my best. A critter keeper enclosure is not ideal for your queen starting out, I don't know how long it would take for you to get a test tube shipped to where you live but it is not to late. I would put her in the c...

I stand corrected then lol, gotta love the little differences in our language from across the pond.
