The Prenolepis Imparis queens were all over the ground it seemed like every time I turned around there was one on the ground. After seven they stopped coming. I accidentally made a human error and killed a queen. Now done to six.

They won't lay any eggs. Should I just keep waiting and be patient? Any advice?

I already have watched the video, but I guess I can watch it again. Does any one have any other sources of information, on the Prenolepis Imparis queens?

While I was outside on 4/10/17 there were hundreds of flying ant like insects. I wasn't sure if they were queen ants or not, so I didn't capture any. That may have been a sign that there was a super nuptial flight, I don't know.

You have to keep them in a cold environment for them to start laying eggs, or so I've heard. Also each queen only lays one batch of eggs per year. They are truly polygynous so you may wanna put a few queens together in a tube if you wanna speed up the founding process.
