My 20 Worker Colony Went Down

[ColinKim]

I mean, I did see a different genus, but not the same one.

PS I keep my ant colony in a small formicarium, not a big one. Will 5 workers be ok?

To get ur colony going again, probably.

As for brood boosting, you can boost if they are in the same genus, and have similar features. Camponotus Floridanus and tortoganus, for example are just different in size. Some say Campo Floridanus and planar us will work with brood boosting, but I haven’t tried. What you should do is, find some Camponotus colonies, take 1 cocoon from each colony in the wild, and see which ones they kill after hatching.

I don’t think it will take long… it did for me but 50% of it was in transit((Twice)In the US because our transit is bad currently) and I am on the other side of the world.
