Hey guys!I was browsing the forum when I decided I wanted to know how every bodies colony's were doing.So here we are!My colonies are fine.
My Camponotous Sayi colony is amazing.They have grown maybe another 10-20 workers since I've gotten them.The queen is nice and healthy and is still quite shy.
Queen Bubble-head my queen harvester ant is well and is going to be spending a month in my closet to see if she'll lay some eggs.(I've had her for a year and she hasn't laid any eggs.It's crazy)Anyway she'll be good.

Thats it for my colonies let me know how your's are! I wish you ant-luck!

I have 7 colonies (2 camponotus, 1 lasius, 2 formica, 1 crematogaster and 1 tetramorium) with 0 to 11 workers, most of them are doing fine with plenty of brood.

My messor barbarus colony looks fine and healthy and activ. They stayed in my house and not in the cellar over the winter. From time to time I checked if the queen was still alive and I kept seeing her walking around in the nest. I may have even spoted a new female queen that isn't fully evolved yet. However I will have to verify this. They still eat their honey melon seeds and also the mealworms I throw in from time to time. They are getting really good at killing / swarming them.

My two Lasius Niger colonies that I got are out of hibernation and got half a mealworm each. Will have to remove it from the testtube soon.

What types of camponotus?Just curious

[AM1C39]

They are both camponotus novaeboracensis, One colony has 7 workers and many of eggs and the other one has 11 workers but the queen is dead.

Are they in a hibernation stage?

[AM1C39]

Yes, they are still a little slow.
