Help with Connecting Nest & Outworld

Hello, can someone help me, with how to connect the nest and outworld because the nest of my marauder ant queen is a container and I do not have tubes to connect. And also, how can I make a hole in their nest without disturbing them so that the nest has a hole for the ants to come in and out of their nest?

You can use a hot glue gun to burn a hole when no ants are around…(Don’t work for wood)
When you accidentally reply to yourself…

Are there any more options than tubes so that the ants go to the outworld?

Direct connection, so connecting both together. Placing the nest inside the outworld is also good, but this is all I can think of.
