Ive had 5 queens for about 3-4 months now they started laying eggs about 2 months ago. Im worried about if they need food. I keep giving them a little bit of honey water but one of my better queens hasn't fattened up like the rest. Should I be worried?
Also does anyone know how long the egg to worker cycle is for these ants? heard it was dreadfully long.
Heres some pics.

Re: Prenepolis Imparis - Newbie
Are they semi-claustral(queens that hunt and forage for food in the founding months)if not there is not need to feed them. They will use the energy stored in there wing muscles for energy. Most people never give their queens food until workers(unless they are semi-claustral or course) I am not sure about the egg hatch time though
With all the things ants can do, you wonder, who rules the planet
