The AntsCanada Forum

Thanks everyone who posted above thank you for watching the video and also for suggesting a name! :D Today's video is a video of my typical ant routine but more importantly, speaking of names, the time has come to cast your votes! I chose the top 5 suggested names for the colony. Please help me name...

Hi Ant Lovers,

So I freaked out when I saw this! New video up on the channel this week. A nice surprise!

Are you housing a carpenter ant species or one that is known to live in wood? This is definitely an unconventional way to house queens so perhaps it may be hard for others here to give advice on whether this can work or not. Hopefully someone with experience with a similar nest can help!

Ok, thanks!

Any update? Did the workers eclose from the cocoons?

Hi guys! A random idea smashed right into my face some minutes ago so i wanted to tell you guys what it is. I was thinking maybe we could have a ant Skype call. With alot of antkeepers talking and showing their antcolonys. Maybe some brainstorming, helping eachother to identify queens or any specie...
