Yes but I do not think the queen would do that unless she thinks the colony is getting too rebellious
The queen that you introduce in a small colony that is a polygynos species, like maybe Odontomachus(some species are polygynos(
you shouldn't try colony merging unless you know it is polygynos for sure
I know, or else you are going to get a bloody blood bath

Very true. He should've actually researched more and just went to get a worker from a foreign colony or something. :roll: I feel like bashing him for ant cruelty
