I started my first colony last year (a lasius Niger colony) I settled them into hibernation... they came out dead.They were too drowsy to move into the new nest improvised them at the start of hibernation and does from a moody test tube.
'Lasius niger, flavus and tetramorium has been documented thousand of times that isn't really special anymore' Pinoy be like: yep, I agree, don't mind me with my dilobocondyla
just some advice from my experience, with large ants that spin cocoons I would put substrate so it's easy for them to spin the cocoons because my formica and campontus colonies that did terrible. compared to a queen with the substrate also the tar heel ants nest mini hearth is better than a regular testube because it's easier for larve to spin their cocoon in most cases from seeing this myself from over the 7 years of me ant keeping edit: tar heel ants is probably one of the only really good ant nests (that I know of) for campontus and also as I said above it's easier for the larve to spin their cocoon
@@EstheticAnts true but the main reason is they do well during founding is because of larve are able spinning cocoons correctly (as well as later on in the colony stages)
I found a Umbaratus Queen one time a couple months back but I didnt have any brood or anything to give her so I let her be. I could\ve maybe dig up some brood from outside but I decided not to.
Glad that the Campo decipiens stays seeing the mecury nest again makes me think it might actually be very good for slow growers like ligniperda and herc 👀 I might try that
I have a colony of 2 lasius flavus queens in a tube with some brood one of them seems to be dying soon is it ok if I can add like more lasius flavus queens in with the remaining queen so they can live together or too late?
I have Gotten my ants out of hibernation too but they arent super active like i expected, is that normal ? Its my first hibernation done and the ants are lasius Niger about 7 colonies
"I will be done with school soon, I will be done wity school soon". Very awesome video!
Yeah error😅
This channel never gets old. Definitely my favorite ant keeping youtube channel out there!

Hmm that's sad. Next time don't move them straight after hibernation.
where do you get the little test tube divider things?
We sell them!
