Only 1.5 months have passed since I have 2 queens now I have 7 and out of those 7 only one was bought. All are a type of fire ant. :( So I can’t sell them.

All have eggs that are clustered, and all queens lost their wings.
Why don’t more people like ants?
Is anyone from Wyoming who wants to sell ants?

Nice going! ;)
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.

Thanks, unfortunately one queen died yesterday. :(

I am expecting workers in a week or two. 8-)

Captured Queens!
Today, I caught 12 queens! (Lasius Niger)

I am hoping that at least 6 of those queens are fertile.

I will keep this topic going.

Just for the future; L. niger is not found in north America, it would be Lasius neoniger.
