Ants?

Hi guys! I would be getting a Pheidole colony soon and I would like to know if they are good beginner ants and since this species is pologynous( I don't know if this spelling is right) does that mean I can introduce New Pheidole Queen Ants to this colony that has 10 workers? And if I can when and how can I do it? Thanks!

I'd say they are.
Sadly, no you cannot introduce new queens to already founded colonies in most species. :( I doubt Pheidole is one of those that you can.
