The were flying on Monday the 30th in Toronto. Haven't seen any since

For me, it's not so much where to look, but when. Know the time of year different species of ants fly so that you know what to look for. Know what time of day that species usually flies, and know what temperature they start their flights in. For Example, Tertamorium - beginning of July, 5:00am - 10:...

Can anyone recommend any favorite foods for C. pennsylvanicus? I've been feeding mine crickets and mealworms since the colony started last year. The don't seem to be excited about those food items anymore. I gave them some fresh killed superworms recently and they were super excited about it at firs...

All queens went into tubes and then into the fridge. In late February, I took out the neoniger queens and let them start laying e...

I haven't faced this situation yet, but what if you treated it just like you would when they are not hibernating? Specifically, connect a new tube to the existing tube making sure to leave a gap in the connection method to allow for some air to get in. If the tube they are in now goes dry, they can ...
