Probably ;) if the cotton is turning yellow (are black) i always give them a second one, so they can move if they like.
My Lasius flavus wash in tube from last your April (i think) and the cotton is totally black, i give them a second tube before hibernation, they could move if they like, now they are moving in to the other tube (today ;) )
nope my cotton wool is spotless no blackness or any yellow on it but they must be drinking it because otherwise they would be dead
but im stilling very worried that they dont forage hardly at all is it possible that they forage at night instead to avoid the risk of predators

That could be an option. If the colony is still small they most of the time come out at night to protect them selfs.
yeah thats put my mind at rest because the colony is not much bigger than 13 ants strong and there is no more than 3 workers foraging at one time so i think things should be ok :D
and yesterday for the first time this year i saw two workers feeding off a fly i suppose which will be fed to the larva

In deed, with the first colony i had, i also wash thinking (every minute) are they doing okay, i didn't see them for day, i think they are dead. But you need to be patient with it. It is getting easier with the next colony you are having. ;) Than you know what to expect.
yeah i do need to stop worrying i suppose they will forage when they need to
thanks for all the help you have given me
