I would connect the old test tube and the new one to a AC test tube portal, and once the old one runs out of water, they should move. If the situation is more urgent I would directly connect the 2 test tubes, and shine a bright light on the old one.

I also tried it with a little bit of heat. They were really unconfortable with it.

I tried it like this and their testtube is already out of water

Well, once it is completely dried (like the cotton has dried out and all the water vapor has escaped) they won’t be able to keep the brood there, so I would just do it like I said earlier.

Ok I will try

Ok, I think it should work, but some colonies are just so stubborn. If they have not moved after a week or so, let me know and I should be able to think of something!

Thank's i used another light source and they hate it so lets pray.

but basically they're exposed to light sinco more than a week .

I think, that they just got used to light. Usually i would just conect them to an ac testubeportal but th testube isnt the right size. I've to hybernate them soon.
