jeoff82: Lone queen (18. Mär 2009 12:55)

Hi, a few months ago I ordered a queen and she was delivered around January with a few workers and some eggs. Since then all the workers have died and the queen hasnt laid anymore eggs? What shall I do with my queen? ATM she isnt doing anything? I think the workers might of been killed by some mould that was already in the test tube when it got delivered!

id feed her with some small fruit flys or a small spider.. maybe even offer her some honey.. and a new test tube.. and then keep her dark and warm.
