ANTSTORE World of Ants

[Kiam]

How many can Lasius niger lay a day and Myrmica rubra does it depends?

[hypervelocity]

It will depent on how old the queen is, tempriture and how much nutrients the queen is getting. It also depends on how stessed the queen is.

Thanks so when my queen arrives since ive bought some colonies the queens will be stressed and young right? so there produce like 1 egg?

[hypervelocity]

Well, the queen may take a few days or months to settle into her nest, once the queen has settles in she may start to lay eggs or not. You can never predict with ants. and lasius niger queens can also control the population of haw many ants she lays.

There is not exact a number on it Kiam, but she can produce a lot of eggs. It depends on the size of the colony and the time of year (winter or summer) also the humidity and temperature.

[Kiam]

Ok My queen ant should come with 10 ant workers will that increase a bit more eggs?

[JimmyVe]

Normally it does. but if i was you i don't worry about the eggs she is going to lay, just make sure she is in good health and take a good care of your colony. And than the rest will come in no time. (like it does in nature.)
