      @JordanDeanFilms  8 лет назад +10

      I catch queens in order to raise and observe them and I often distribute some to others who wish to do the same.

    @kristijanveljaca1687 3 года назад +10

    6:01 I would also like to add that I personally found it useful to put sometime underneath the testube so it doesn't roll in the container as this can be stressful to the queen.

    • @JordanDeanFilms
      @JordanDeanFilms  8 лет назад +102

      That's right. A queen that's out in the open would be in the process of searching for a suitable nesting location in order to begin her own colony from scratch.

      I think their sting is actually beneficial to you, similar to a bee's. And don't expect to raise fire ants and not get bit.

    • @JordanDeanFilms
      @JordanDeanFilms  8 лет назад +65

      They mate with drones (male ants) during a period known as nuptial flights. After mating has occurred, the males die, fulfilling their only purpose in life. Once mated, a queen is able to lay fertilized eggs for the remainder of her life, without the use of another male partner.

    • @SeeNyuOG
      @SeeNyuOG 8 лет назад +1

      Woah! The drones are the ones with wings?

    • @JordanDeanFilms
      @JordanDeanFilms  8 лет назад +31

      Yes, drones have wings, and in most cases, the female alates do too. Once the female alates have mated, they shed their wings and are known as de-alates (fertile queens).
