I was told that keeping two Lasius niger queens is impossible, and eventually after workers were born they would kill one queen....but explain this then
I will just leave the queens alive and wait untill they kill one of them... then i will have the brood of the other one ... atleast my brood production rate is increased untill one of them dies. ..
Pleometrosis is often working for a while, but then falling into pieces, especially for Lasius cf. niger - some weeks later more and more queens will be killed!
I only have 2 queens in only 1 test tube the other queens are separated so its ok , in serbia if i really wanted that day that i picked them up i could pick up atleast 50 queens... no problem
Hm, don't I understand? There is no difference between 2, 3 or 4 queens, sometimes it will last for weeks, sometimes for month after the first workers are there, but it will end...
