Remove majors, they are useless in the current stadium of your colony.

Hello unexisted , i relise that but they are the only ones left feeding the queen , i would prefer her too be carried on being fed as long as possible other wise theres no one else to feed her , plus she hasnt even laid yet.

Regards

Are you sure they are feeding the Queen ? My first Colony had one Major, and not much worker left. At the end, the Major had much to eat and the Queen died. Well he didnt feed her at all. You should reconsider.... and listen to unexisted. One sign that the Queen doesnt get enough food is that she isnt laying new eggs. :)

edit : You have no workers left ? Oo

Im pretty sure the queen is being fed , the soldiers gastors are swollen with food and its the queen who follows them around and begs them for the feeding. They also clean her and i feel she will have less chance by herself. Also the soldiers are still killing and eating crickets.

Yes thats correct i have no workers left , some got killed when they escaped and dried out , and the few that were left have no slowly thinned out and the very last one died out a few days ago. :(

Well, for myself, i have no hope left without workers but hey, that doesnt mean i hope she dies. I wish you luck and hopefully iam wrong ! Reminder : Thats not ironic, i really hope she makes it ! :)

Hey guys just thort to let you know that the Queen died a few days ago :( , the soldiers slowly died untill there was one left then the queen died and a day later the last remaining soldier died aswell.

I tried my best with these ants but no good, i shall stay away from them for a long time now.
