After 11 days 3 of my L asius niger queens have workers, 2 of them have 1 worker and one has 2 workers she was the first to lay eggs tho,and im having trouble with my formica but i think it will be ok ..... i hope so.... soon getting M essor barbarus and Camponotus ligniperdus <3 <3 <3 :)))
Great news my F ormica has 2 workers and 1 more L asius niger has 4 workers on the first day of hatching !!!
My ants are in hibernation at my grandmothers house which is only 2-5 C hotter then outside due to the fact that she has bad insolation in her house only in one room she has good i put the ants in the coldest room... :) i only have 1 Formica queen left with 5 workers... and 1 Lasius with about 15 workers the rest of the Lasius which i had i experimented on them so i probably killed them because of that...and 1 Formica died i dont know why i didnt touch the Formica 2 much because i wasnt able to find them so easy like i did the Lasius and in spring im awaiting some barbarus (Messor ofcourse) to be shipped to me from Montenegro from a friend after their hibernation
