I dont know why she died, before I moved her to the plaster nest I made. She was still good. but when i was about to move them I saw my queen lying on her back. 1 day later she was put out of her misery by the workers. She has become Ant queen sushi. Anyone might know why she died? :( :cry: :?:
Sad beginner with a dead queen and a dying pheidole colony :cry:
Maybe an upcoming Yellow Crazy ant colony owner!

Sometimes queens die withought any apparent reason, better luck next time.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]

Unfortunately veterinary knowledge for ant-keeping is scant and usually, when an ant dies, there is few ways to tell why
