Worker died

Let us know of your ant colonies or queens that have passed away. We will grieve together but will also learn why your ants may not have succeeded.

Worker died

I just acquired a queen + 3 workers, the next day I checked up on them, one worker had died. I was also carful to view the ants though a red tinted foil so that it was still dark when I checked. I did also add a drop of ant nectar the next day because I thought they might be starved, they seemed to enjoy the nectar and drank the entire drop in 2 days.

Do you know why the worker died?
Why don’t more people like ants?
Is anyone from Wyoming who wants to sell ants?

You can email me about ants at Tucker.reynolds13@gmail.com

I relied to this question in the other category.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.
