Re: New to Ant Keeping

Heya, Don't worry, the loss of wings doesn't guarantee that the queen is fertilised, nor does the keeping of wings mean that she isn't! All you can really do is wait until her eggs hatch, and if they are males with wings she's unfertilised, but if workers hatch your all good :D
