hallo meine deutche freunden. mein deutch is sehr slecht, vielleicht sind da deutche menschen die meine englishen nachricht könnten lesen.
vielen dank!, du kont jetzt in deutch reagieren!. oder english/niederlandisch) (if you can/als je kunt)

regular info:
ant: lasius flavus
colony: just 1 queen delivered 3 days ago.
formicarium: just a 30cm by 20 cm terrarium, mostly sand, and a bit of earth (u know, black sand stuff, good for plants) same word as earth in holland. (aarde)
anyway. i placed the tube inside the box. he was allready eating i guess from the water inside the testtube. altough i was not sure if enough water leaks trough the (white soft stuff) (dutch: watten) after 1 day, i think he allready had about 5 eggs. and the next day he had put some dirt and sand inside the tube. the third day he was gone. (out of test tube)
i can;t really see some holes in the ground where he is hiding.
questions:

in a box of 30 by 20. can the queen find back it's test tube for the water.?
also covered the plug which closed the test tube with honey and water.

the ant did not take the eggs with him, they are still in the test tube.
will they get them sooner or later? or will he just make new eggs somewhere?

now about 3 days have past without seeing him. we are with a family of 5 here. everyone looks once a while. should i be worried?

how long can a queen live without food? (when he was gone he was really fat!, so, that looked good.?

in how many months should there be workers back above ground? (just an aproximation for me to not worry so much as i do now?)

allready a thanks in advance everyone!, Greetings Martin
