What's Next?
So earlier I had made a post asking if I had caught a queen during my adventure. Since then I had her in a test tube set up and it appears she has laid a clutch of eggs. They haven't hatched yet but I would like to know what is the next step for care not only for hopefully this future colony but queen as well. The queen is a carpenter ant if that helps. Do I feed her? How long does it take for eggs to mature and hatch? Any helpful tips and facts to keep in mind? I really just want to be able to take care of them to the best of my abilities so please help.

Re: What's Next?
really carpenter ants are one of my favorite because you do nothing at this stage. don't feed her don't disturb her. really just shove them in a drawer and look at them once a week to make sure everything is fine. you should have workers in about 1 month.
