They probably will not accept the honey (ore other sweets) most colonies of Messor barbarus only eat insects and seeds. Don't forget to give them some fresh water to.

The setup looks really nice. 2cm... i think at first when the colony is small they will try to dig into the sand. (if the sand is moist). Make sure the conditions in the y-tong are better than in the sand (moist, temperature) and they will move into the y-tong.
