How would I feed them though the test tube setup? Would I need an outworld?

There are about 10-15 workers with her in the jar. Catching all of them would be very difficult. And the only thing I worry about is her stress level. She has gone from colony to tube then to jar.

How would you recommend I move them into a test tube setup?

She seems settled into the mason jar. I put some honey in the jar for them to drink. Hopefully it all goes well.

I gathered a few of her workers and put them in a temporary mason jar with dirt. I then put the queen in and the workers began to dig tunnels for her. So I think all is well. What should I feed the small colony?

I dug up a queen and her nest in my garden. How would I care for her because she has already started a colony?

Hi there everyone. I recently was in my yard and accidentally dug up an ant nest. The queen came out and I managed to capture her with my test tube. I am wondering what I should do in terms of feeding and care because she lost her workers. Thanks!
