Week 3 and no eggs. Should I feed them?
Not much else to say beyond the title. It's been three weeks since I captured my queens (Pheidole sp.) and none of them has laid eggs. I'm curious if I should place a small dab of honey inside the tubes with them.

They are claustral queens. Honey will not make them lay eggs.

Don't. My Crematogaster queen finally laid eggs after almost 2 months of nothing

Week 4 and one of them laid eggs. I guess I'll just wait for the other one.
