LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS: I was thinking of doing an 'ANT GAMES' (like Squid Games) tournament to help us choose which ant colony or colonies we keep. Losing colonies (don't get killed) get released into the wild one by one. If we do this, I'll wait until every colony has enough workers to give the colonies the best chance at survival if they get released. Opinions?
Man, squid game is spreading everywhere.
amog goose. am i true fellow among us fan.
A game or even waiting a while longer to see which colonies may do well.
1,5 and 6
Just wondering if anyone else has thought of this idea you were planning on what to do with the other carpenter ants you should make sure that they can found a solid colony and then let them go on your property that you bought to help fight against the invasive ant species
The queens on my list are 1,5 and 7. With 1 and 7 for sure both being strong colonies so far, as with 5 just to observe and see how it does develop.
Agre
5 should stay
Agree
Agreed, that would be amazing
+1 to this idea
1 and 7, for historical reason, and 5, because I would love to see an underdog, to see if "we" can help to change her fate.
Historical reason?
true
Me too
Number one full reason. They're just doing the best
Brilliant and awe inspiring!
Subscribed!
1, 5, 7. Because in colony 1, there are a lot of workers. 5 'cuz we need to see is it fertilized or not, but after she had her first ants, you will release them, whether they are males or females. And 7 bc it is that beautiful reddish one. So I suggest you to keep 2 colonies at the end, the reddish one, and a black.
I agree with him
Your soo right bc i want to know 5
I also agree about 1,5,7, but do not release 5!! She chose a different strategy (if not all males), this could also happen in the future we can keep comparing.
She maybe chose 'quality over quantity', the 2nd batch might be some kind of bodybuilder ants.
@@AlperenAlperen Yes, good idea. He can keep her, if he wants. Personally, I often keep more than one colony from the same species, to compare them.
What you said:)
Seems everyone wants 1, 5 and 7 to stay. With 5 being more of a let's see what happens and what comes of her brood pile. To be honest I am also curious what happens with number 5's brood. Will they be all males, or will they end up being bigger girls with the idea of going for quality over quantity as that'd be one heck of a tactic for a new colony. However I'd say keep her around to watch how the colony does if queen 5's brood isn't all males, if they are do what is not cruel be it keeping her fed and happy or releasing her to the wild.
If he released her to the wild she would starve to death or be mauled defenselessly by a hungry predator or another colony.
He could just keep releasing drones if he can figure out when the nuptial flight occurs.
Also, I want 5, 7 and one of the other (maybe 1).
long sentens
Agreed.
Animals have feelings too
Your so kind!!!!!!!!! Omg so lovely it is making me cry
Keep the colony that we've been watching this whole time throughout the series. I'm sure that everyone has felt connections with this one.
I personally want to keep the Queen 5 since her brood is quite a late bloomer. Just for human intervention to help their survivability. IDK. It just seems the right one.
Edit: I'm glad I found a lot could relate to this comment. Holy crepe. Thanks everyone! ^^
Agreed
But queen 5 could also be having having male ants so maybe it is not the greatest Idea to keep queen 5
Agreed
Agreed
yes
Definitely queen 1, I think we all feel attached to her.
Maybe queen 5 too, I wanna see what happens to her and her brood.
Yeah choose 1
Yes!!!
Yeah colony 5 needs to catch up 😀
Exactly
I thought the same, queen 1 and 5 🙏
THANK YOU HUMAN
Her Majesty is doing a good job.
Biology teacher back again here ! Thank you for putting out this content every week, looking forward to it everytime to have at least a 15min of free time each saturday :) I will show some of your videos to my students when I teach about insects!
Nice
Ayyy I've seen your other comment
@@PumpkinEater-gh6ok here every week excited for the next video!
Saturday* mr teacher pssst
Happy to have you as part of the ac family:)
Biology teacher, huh?
How about you show this video to your students? I'm sure they will love it! 😏
Keep colonies 1 and 5, 1 seems extremely successful and thus might be the best to keep while 5 seems like an interesting colony to keep track of. Ant love forever :)
7 Has a Unique Red Color Tho
I vote 5
My thoughts exactly
1
I agree one and five
worker ants look so derpy, its so darn cute 😭😭😭😭😭
Aww! That queen had a bit of fun eating with her brood, meaning the guards can feed now!
This man loves his ants so much he can read their emotions through their though exo skeletons.
@@aryyyy...1530 no
Nahh. He can read their emotions in his *mind*
@@ssniper-mb7js It's a joke bud.
We all know he's projecting his emotions onto his ants but that doesn't mean he doesn't love 'em, nor does it mean it ain't fun to watch.
@@darthgamer2014 It’s a joke bud.
ant go brr💀
Keep 1 and 5. Would love to see 5 catch up to 1 eventually.
Yeah
@@finns4life988 eh?
Agreed. Would like to see how it plays out
@@finns4life988 not caring for the weak is stoopid, and your mom seems to understand that
yes
Watching this is relax for me
Absolutely Wholesome.
We’re keeping colony 1, of course. I’d like to keep 7, too. As for 5, let’s see what she has, give her a chance; if she has healthy girls, let her go. If she has sons, and you can, keep her. It’d be interesting to see what a colony-less ant is like... (Unless thats cruel, then let her go)
Well, it would mean a Queen-lifetime of Males to release for mating, I would think, as long as the Queen is fed.
This one I'd like to see this
I'd definitely be interested in seeing what Queen 5 ends up doing
I wood like to see colony 1. Keeping it wood be a fallow up on this episode😀
I agree- even if she has males he can still feed her and the males so that more future queens can have mates at nuptial flights.
Isn't queen 7 that didn't spin the cocoons, it would be interesting to see if that continues too!
so cute!!!!!!
The big hip on the back🤣😂
I'm rooting for queen 5, I'd say keep her if she does good. She proving shes a fighter even if it takes longer.
up up up!
5 and 1.
Yeah that’s good for queen 5 hope she’s does well
Good idea
I hope too that queen number 5 keeps it up
I feel qe should keep Colony 1. It's the one we've been following most of the time,but Queen 5 could be good too if she makes it.
We followed 7
First
1
I agree. The one we've been watching or the Queen that still hasn't had her eggs hatch.
Thanks for education..
ITS so fun watch the ant coloni..
This is so nice
Another week another incredible video! So exciting! Keep colony 1, 5 and 7! 1 because of the emotional attachment, 7 because of the unique red color and 5 to see what ultimately happens with her young!
you just said what i was thinking
Yeah
Good idea
Keep colony 1 because we have been watching them the hole time and we've been with them since the start 😊 I kinda just attached to them ❤
I agree
Same they are now my favorite ant type colony since Phoenix Empire will be leaving us and rehomed but they moved on and still living.
I agree 👍
so were keeping 1 than?!
I hope we are keeping 1
THIS IS SO HEART WARMING
Plz keep 1
They are sooo cute when they share!
I figure 7 is a must as the one that showed you something rare a few weeks back and seems lucky.
As a contrast to this 5 seems to be unlucky and it seems without human intervention this queen would not survive so keeping her for her own sake might be a kindness.
Keep 1, 5 and 7, they just look the best and literally NEED to stay on this channel.
I agree
Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssss
Ya there so cute now I don’t rlly have a fear of ants now 🥲
I hate ants- fire ants to be exact. But I love this Channel
What the f**k.
PLEASE KEEP THEM ALL
I'd just pick them all,,,,, like a zoo they would all survive and be looked after ,nice clip enjoying it immensely ❤
I'd choose 1 and 5. I'd love to see queen 5 to improve on her brood, I'm optimistic that she'll catch up
Deffently
I dont think so
Definitely
We should keep colonies 1 and either 6 or 7 long-term. I want two colonies to be kept so they can be put into two completely different set-ups so the future growth of the colonies can be tracked, to see if set-up actually matters. And we should keep queen 5 until we find out one way or the other if she really did mate.
Yes I wanna see 1 and 5 grow if 5 fails I want to see either 6 or 7
Same 1 and 6
This was my thought too.
Agreed 1 and number 6
Yes
When I saw the queen get fed for the first time I smiled
0:37 is my favorite scene of cute queen ants
Antscanada is basically a giant supermajor serving the queens
No he is more of an animal further up the food chain, but he might aswell be a god for them
@@notrickroll9819 yeah bro totally bro I will belive you 🤡
Ultra Mega-Major
This was so cute, almost as cute as the footage you took of the queen feeding the larva. I love how the queen was rapidly touching the other worker who was feeding her like she was saying "please sir may I have some more?" I think ants are so adorable :)
You are so right
Hi, When is the right time give the first food?
When the ants look hungry
@@fleethefacilitypro o yeah..
nice and it was cute too,so i have to agree on you.
ANT LOVE FOREVER
Keep em all
I love how the queen aggressively pets the worker feeding her.
Yeah i find It cute like "FEED ME BELOVED SONS FEED ME"
@pootisdemo well, actually they are all daughters
@@lookinforladies you mean daughters
@@MissThavel_LanguageTeacher10 yeah yeah i forgot
@@geminithewolf9056 not ALL theres male alates
I would just keep the ant-colony we have been following all this time, so we can see it go through all the stages of a normal ant-colony.
Love your channel and hope that all queen ants are going to experience the greatest thing they could have. A flourishing ant kingdom of their own.🐜🐜🐜
That will be to much for antscanada
@Muscleman8562 You alright man? I'm sure that toilet paper didn't go through your stomach well
Yeah
7
I'd also like to observe queen ant 5
and they're all so cute
I love how their full valleys baby number 7.
Every time I see these types of videos, it makes me want an ant colony. I know that I’m nowhere near responsible to have one, but your videos are just so inspiring. Keep up the good work dude!
yes I will ask ur nam3 (lol)
whats your name ? :)
Queens 1, 5 and 7 are what I’d keep. 1 and 7 because they’re the largest (from what I can tell) colonies and 5 just to see what happens.
Yes
You kinda copied the first comment
@@unkown_commenter4994 I didn’t try to copy them, but I do see what you mean. I just really want to see what happens to queen 5.
@@jkkgron2 lol I'm sorry
@@unkown_commenter4994 it’s fine lol
All of them
Thanks for giving the ants food

Never gonna give you up....

I would love to see the colony we've been watching but also interested in number 5 develop, seeing the two different styles of rising the colony's is interesting to see.
Imagine if the Queen number 5 has a golden finger, and it's already producing tier 2 ants to get a better start in it's mission to dominate planet Earth.
@@LordDragox412 yeah I’m interested to see the development and comparison between number 5 and the quality approach, to one that has already had the first generation.
- 7:09 awee that's so sweet 😋 💖 💗
I finally found a ant neat near my home so il be seeing it regularly to see if any queens appear to startup
Colony 5 is an interesting scenario, and I 100% think we should keep her, even if it's alongside a second colony. It's quite clear right now that she either is the most interesting out of all of them, or has no chance to survive in the wild, and it would be appropriate to continue caring for her.
Wouldn't it be a tad bit cruel to keep a queen who can't make workers?
@@th1v5 no, AC would probably move a few into the colony and help it out a bit, if not then idk
Colonies 1, 7, are for sure on my list. They really flourished over the days. But I wish the best of luck to the other queens, especially 5.
Does anyone realized that under the feeding workers mouth there’s like little strains of hair wacking the sugar jelly it’s kinda funny.
When I was 10 I was obsessed in ants like so much now I’m still…lol
Everyone is saying Queen 1 when it's Queen 7 we have been watching the most.
I definitely agree that we should keep 7 since we have been seeing very cool and personal development with her and her journey.
I'd love to see Colony 1 kept, since it's them we've already been watching for some time now.
Colony 5 would be interesting to keep, though the Queen would be doomed to die since the males won't feed her, unless it's possible to pull off a special habitat to allow the Queen to feed herself. But then, would it be cruel to keep her going when in Nature she'd be doomed to die?
I'd say feed her that stuff so that if she has males they will be able to be released.
She'll most likely just keep eating the jelly like #1 did when too impatient to wait for the nanitics. The queen can eat on her own when food is available, it's just that there normally isn't food lying loose inside the protective confines of the nest she could eat randomly. Letting her to starve to death in nature is certainly the objectively crueler option than just giving her a bit of jelly to eat every now and then and letting her raise some males.
I mean many animal shelters (for wild animals) are keeping wild animals that would be be doomed to die if they would not survive in nature.
From my understanding, please correct me if I'm wrong of course, most animals in shelters are there because of Human interference whether it's habitat loss, poaching, traps or the introduction of invasive species.
It's sort of a Human guilt trap.
Number 5 naturally failed to breed so would otherwise die. AntsCanada has always tried to maintain as natural a lifecycle as possible (creative vivarium's aside).
As for letting her starve, though that would be the natural setting, AC has in the past euthanized ants by setting them in a freezer to lower their temperature and put them into hibernation, then let them go further to slip away peacefully- which I suspect could be a chosen option if AC did choose to let #5 go.
Keeping #5 in a specialised habitat to raise males for the duration of her life could be beneficial for farming fertile males to release into the wild. To potentially boost the success rate of fertilised Queens of the native ant species which is always a plus!
This all depends on AC's final decision. I'm mostly just hypothesizing the options we may have available. x
I love nature 🌿🍃❤
bro loves ants so much he dont even care if there roaming in his house and he can translate these erererekkk bbbbbb eessdsseeee stststststststssttststs into english
1 and 5 for sure. 1 is the main focus lately and so most want to see specifically how they do. And 5, since it's so unique. It's rare to get a glimpse of this possible male ant brood. Many of us want to see how they do, what will happen, and probably see the Queen's end with the grown males released to do what they were made to do.
I am slowly starting to love ants and their hardwork after discovering this channel a few weeks ago
yeh i discovered this like 2 years ago
If only you were around for the fire nation a few years ago
This is the first video I've seen on the channel
I have two ant colonies at home. But, my family treats them more like pests, as they keep eating the food we keep for ourselves. One lives in the dining table, and the other in the kitchen (great spot for development) and they are HUGE. I bet you would take atleast a week to get out the queen from these!
Never ever have I ever thought ants were cute until I saw this 😻
Me too

//we haven't been interested in colony keeping until Fifth Queen, and we some how feel like she needs a whole adventure of how she handles her specific lack of nanitics
Yeah
Hi I love your work please keep it up thank you!😇😇😁
You should keep calling him one
You should keep calling one
I'd say you should keep 1, 5, and 7, as 1 and 7 are both strong, fast growing colonies and 5 is quite interesting.
Yes
Lol quirrel imagine drowning
;=
I’m pretty sure we’ve all already decided on seven, so in addition, I think number one and five are keepers(just for watching five)
Queen.
He sounds like Game toons...Like the red amongst Jeff I love his voice
1, 5, 7
I'm super curious about 5. if the queen only produces males, does she go out herself and find food? Do the males just stay home and wait to mature?
The queen doesn't go out to find food. The males stay home and do nothing, so the colony fails. If a queen is unfertilized it's going to fail no matter what, so there aren't any survival instincts for the queen to find food for themselves as it won't extend their lifespan long enough for then to produce elates and pass on their genes.
I feel like we should keep 1, 5, and 7. We've been watching 1 for a while so I want you to keep them! I also really wanna see if 5's larvae hatch. And 7 cuz it'll never hurt to have one extra. :)
7 pls keep i love the queen of 7 so much, she's so charismatic.
I will pick 1 cuz I saw it cute and i almost cried of the cutest
I think you should keep the first and fifth colony, first is because you've been documenting its journey to us, the fifth because she looks like she needs help the most.
Yes
he has the most data on 1st
@@crunchybro123 yes
yes but only if she is fertilized
longest name ever jesus...
I love ants
When they got the gueen the food i cried
If 5 is unfertilized, then isn't her only chance at survival being kept in captivity? I'm rooting for her either way!

I'd say keep either 1 or 7. It was cool to see them all feeding! And trying to escape their tubes.
Yes!
1,5 and 7 watching this is so cool
You inspired me to have my own ant city of two wood ants😊😊
I remember we all wanted to keep 7 in a previous video, what happened to all the love?
I personally think we should keep 1 and 7 as we had the best moments with those two. I still hoping for the best with number 5 though!
I’m definitely already emotionally attached to the first one.
i luv ants
Needs to be the most healthy colony of ants and the queen
id say 1, 5, and 7! 1 is already shown as cute and id love to see them grow. 5 seems interesting to watch for now as im quite curious about her and her brood. and finally 7 seems to be doing well and id love to watch them grow too.
You have given me a gift, and I am sincerely grateful for it.
When I was a young kid, the deck on the second floor of our house suffered an infestation of carpenter ants. They were very sneaky about it, to the point where we didn't even know there was a problem until I woke up one night feeling small sharp pains on my body. I tossed back the covers and found not one or two, but DOZENS of huge black ants in my bed, biting me! They were even harassing my poor cat, who ended up taking refuge in the bathtub, where she could see and attack them when they came after her! I've hated and feared carpenter ants ever since; I've had nightmares about the experience my whole life.
That said, the sincere love, fascination, and enthusiasm shown by you, charming channel host, along with your excellent videography, makes me see these monsters out of my bad dreams in a different light. I still don't want them near me, but watching them like this raises feelings of curiosity and interest instead of my previous revulsion and fear. Thank you for the opportunity to learn like this.
Wow. I'm sorry you had to experience that. I am thankful tho that you gave ants a second chance. I know that it's not that easy to forget and move on from that experience but i'm glad you're taking small steps accepting ants❤
I feel sorry for you

7 of course, and if 5 ends up bearing worker ants, I would love for you to keep her too! Maybe 1 as well!
So inspiring!
Can you tell us more about the "beards" that these ants appear to have? It's particularly visible on the queen and I've never seen them before.
Yes, they're kind of like antennae but smaller sensory organs called palpi. Ant mouthparts are pretty interesting and complicated.
