Okay.
But what I mean was, that do u think they have been in hibernation, then they where with anstore? Before I bought it. That I mean is, do u think the queen is from last summer?.
Any ant bought from antstore that needs hibernation gets it when there stored in antstore
So u think it might has been in hibernation, and that queen is from last summer?
Do any one know how long it will take before mig queen, will begin to create new youg queens, and youg males?.
And how long ít take for a queen from egg and to adult? And the same with males(:
hope u can help. plz.
In normal conditions, probably no less than two years. It is possible that adopting large workers from grown-up colony will speed up this, because the colony will think it is big if such big workers are present. At first the colony produces only male alates, because they are cheaper, and when it grows in consequent years relatively more and more females. Very old and very large colonies can produce even more females than males. Male Lasius niger is not bigger than worker and develops in similar time (4-8 weeks, depending on temperature). Female is many times larger and the larva must grow longer to reach proper size, but I don't know how long exactly.
Okay.
But if I find a puppae of a youg queen or male, they will accept her, or him?. And then will the workers begin to create more of them?

There is a search engine on this website, try to use it and than you find this;

They only make queens and males if the colony is strong enough, but you are better of without them. They are no use to your colony in captivity.
Let us know who you are,
here .
Thanks !
Okay thx, and I just wanna be anonym, so I'll not write who am I.
- But what shall I do when the yong queens will come? Shall I kill them or what?
Do not worry about this for next two years :) If you have native species, which normally live in your area and there is no risk of alien invasion, you can simply allow them fly out.
Okay thx(:
But will there go 4-6 weeks before the next generation of ants/workers are comming?
