ty for your help!
I looked on google and found this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmica_rubra#cite_note-Species_of_ant-2
"They are polygynous, and can have up to one hundred queens per nest"
tyvm
Yes Myrimica rubra do have lots more queens in the nest.. I have a colony myself with around 8 queens.
Lasius niger on the other hand only do have ONE queen, any more and the workers will fight untill there is only one left.. and sometimes even both will die.. so its not even almost worth the risk.
Hello,
Yes as everyone said Lasius niger colony has only one queen, but productivity is fast enough, well if u want to have a lot of queens u should try Myrmica rubra.. or find out more ant species which have more when one queen.
yep just make sure you can afford to expand the nest sooner then with just 1 queen or ull run into problems
ok. thanks for your help.
