Lasius niger queen died

Lasius niger queen died

Beitragvon marvinH » 21. Jun 2012 18:23

I bought a Lasius niger queen and 10 ants.
I first placed them in a cheap antfarm, and did not feed any insecs, only suger water and fruits.
No new ant's after 10 months.
Then I placed them in a cold place for hybernation.
And bought a new big ant farm and arena here at antstore.
I also bought fruitfly's every two-three weeks.
After the hybernation I placed the test tube in the arena with the red foil around the tube.
I did not force them out, and they stayed in there, but some ant's were digging in the farm connected to the arena, but never moved there.
After feeding fruitfly's there were new ant's, and everything seemed fine.
But after 6 months when I had 20 ant's, some ant's died (maybe 3-4) And suddenly I noticed the queen being pushed around in the testtube. Clearly dead.
How hard can it be to keep an Lasius niger queen alive?
I don't know what's gone wrong.
I always provide suger water, and bought fruitfly's ones every 2-3 weaks. They don't need fruitfly's every month to survive right?
Is it common that Queens can die without reason after 1,5 years?
