I caught a colony of Myrmica on the weekend and I have just looked at her nest today and the queen is on her back but over the last couple of days the workers are decreasing from 27 to about 18. I really need help fast what do i do to save this colony?

myrmica rubra can have multiple queens so you could try to get another queen and see if the queen gets adopted by the remaining workers.

Where can I get a new queen from and by the way the queen died.
