Re: Alaskan Ant ID Request
I have two camponotus hurculeanus queens. Queen 1 and 2 are about a week apart as far as when I placed them in their test tubes.
They are both laying eggs. Queen 1 has a small clust of eggs and started about a week after I put her in her tube. Queen two has laid a ton of eggs and they're kinda scattered.
My question is, is there any way to know if they are fertile? Can I put a toothpick tip of honey in for them?
They've been in tubes for 2-3 weeks.
