Question about Myrmica rubra
Over the last three weeks i have caught three Myrmica rubra Queen's during nuptial flight, on of them has already laid eggs and because Myrmica rubra are polygynous i want to know if i can put them together or if i should wait until the first workers arrive?
My Queen's:
1 Lasius flavus
1 Myrmica rubra
1 Lasius flavus
1 Myrmica rubra

Re: Question about Myrmica rubra
It really depends if you want to risk it. Usually it's not recommended and sometimes it is best to wait for workers. I'm no expert on this but I can only sugguest to either don't do it or try with some workers. And if the workers are accepted to try with the rest of the colony.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.
