Hi,
Does any one keep these and have any suggestions. I know in the wild they can build quite large nests and be quite active, so was wondering the possibility of keeping them inside enclosed. And when is the best time to collect a queen? Not planning this year but maybe a colony to start next year.
Cheers

Pretty sure it is illegal based on location. I think they are protected.RuinedDrone wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 8:18 amHi,
