Im new to ant keeping, and have a queen camponotus penn. Around 12-15 workers, in a test tube set up, attached to ac portal 2.0, with sugar water test tube attached aswell, i noticed color change in the sugar waters cotton so i cleaned it. However i would like to be able to do the same to their current nest, my question is, How do i accomplish this without putting this starter colony through too much stress.

Any suggestions are welcome!
Please and Thank You!!!

Move them out of the nest into a test tube temporarily and then move them back in, or just keep them in their new test tube.
