Moving to a Hybrid Nest

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to post in. Wasn't sure if I should put this in the beginners page or the Hybrid Nest series but here goes. I have a Monomorium Colonly that's about 7 weeks old now and have filled two chambers I made in two test tubes. Still small but over 50 workers for sure. Judg...

Re: hybrid nest

I just got my nest and I think I know what your asking. The package includes the Hybrid nest, the glass, the cover, a small piece of vinyl Tubing, a test tube and a small bag or perlite.

Worker and 3 Drones

Re: Omni nest large issue

Are they going straight through the mesh? If so, i'd just seal another mesh screen over the existing one to cause the holes to be even smaller. You'd have to line it up right.
