hello,
I am very interested keeping Solenopsis gr. fugax . I try 4 times to start a colony with a queen , two times
the queen died before the birth of the first workers and two times wile having 4 to 6 workers . I did read
in the different forums similar experiences : Usually the queen die before the first workers . The rate of success seems quite low. I agree that keeping Solenopsis fugax is easy for a developed colony but they seems to me extremely fragile at the foundation stage.
Is it possible to have a detailed description of a successful experience developing a colony from a single queen ?
