i think what jimmy is trying to say is if you have been reading around then you will know that keeping a ant colony without a queen is useless and not to mention cruel. the ants will live a lonley life and i can tell you with experience that keeping a colony with a queen is far more interesting to watch. ( i have never tried to keep a colony without a queen ) thanks and good luck
I had once ants without a queen, I had it before I knew colonies are sold, I had it before I knew this forum.
I read a lot about ants, and now I know what I have done is totally cruel. And boring, you will only see ants digging and die. they wont las longer than a weak.
Dont keep going doing what you have been doing. It is a waste of time and money.
Do what jimmy said, read more.
