1ste generation workers are always smaller. Could be possible.
and then there was 7
The colony has now reached 16 and seems to be growing fast, the queen is now laying around 5-10 eggs every 2-3 days. I'm hoping this will increase further, so as many eggs as possible have time to develop before October when I'm guessing hibernation will kick in. :mrgreen:

I am so jelous I love your colony
WOW Your queen looks wonderful! :shock:
She is doing really well, but its still early days yet. I think the secret is to leave her in as much peace and quiet as possible. She has recently laid a load more eggs so when the colony doubles in size i'll post another pic. Fingers crossed for a major.
I've been experimenting with the humidity levels in the y-tong and have noticed significant changes in behaviour. When i allow the y-tong to dry the queen stops laying regardless of how much food and protein is available. When I increase the levels to that of which you would normally keep exotic species of campo in, she starts laying again. This could however be coincidence as ligniperda queens tend to lay in batches.
