First time feeding!
I recently bought meal worms for my ants (yesterday) and know that I have to keep them cool or they will become bettles and stuff but anyways, I have a queen and one worker with some larve... how do I feed them their first meal of mealworms?

Re: First time feeding!
I would take a couple of mealworms and put them in freezer for a bit. Once they are dead I would take one of them cut it in 3 to 5 pieces and put them in an area your workers can access them.

Re: First time feeding!
Yup. Feeding in the tube is not recomended.
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
