21 queens in a in a test tube

[SHADOWINGS]

Today I caught 21 brachymyrmex queens since I heard they are polygynous I made two different group 6 In one test tube and 15 in another is it a good idea to have 15 queens all together is it like to many queens at once?

This seems like a bit many for any North American species, but you could still try.

For Brachymyrmex this is okay, but I would separate just because if 2 or 3 die they will all die in a matter of days.(Unless it’s a large tube)
