FredeP: My Lasius niger Queens; (9. Aug 2008 17:26)

[font=Verdana] Hello

I have a question!:
- It's, I have to very fine queens, but I only have one formicarium, and they can't both be in that formicarium, so I will ask u which one I shall pick. Because I wanna have the best queen of them, so she can make a great colonyd; I know both queens can do that, but I also know that one of them is better than the other, so I ask u how can I see what queen there will be the best? Hope someone can help, please (: thx!

Ps. sorry for my bad english; [/font]

keep them both in test tubes for a while, till the colony starts to develop, then choose the one you want to keep, i'm sure you'll find someone who'll take the other off your hands :)

But how can I see which one there are the best, because I catch them not on the sane day, so the other queen have already cocoons, when the other only have eggs and some larvas?d; hehe
please answer me:D
