All the pavement ant queens are doing great.
I have 9 sets all together.
The original one has larva and pupa. All pictures taken today.

The original queen was pacing around her tube last week, so I put a drop of sunburst nectar in the tube and she ate it up. I fed the other queens and most of them ate also. Are these species not fully claustral? I let the food stay in for 12 hours then I cleaned it up with a cotton swab and water.
Most of the queens have moved their larva onto the cotton balls holding the water back.

Colony #4 (triple queen)

"Colony" #5
The queen has moved all of the brood into the cotton ball and I can't take a picture. I'm assuming the brood is there but have not seen any since she burrowed into the cotton and hid the larva.

Colony #6

She is still a little behind the other girls, but doing a great job.
