Hey!
This is my first post! Woo hoo!
Sorry...
Anyway!
I got my Lasius Niger colony from ansectopia, arrived speedily, well packaged (Very!) and I got a healthy queen and more workers than I bargained for with lots of eggs, some brood, and 1 cocoon!
I must say that I was very impressed!
Though the only reason I got my Nigers from them is that antstores P+P to the UK makes it a little to expensive...
AND they were on special offer!
I think I got (at least *I am being conservative*) 15+ workers and a queen for £7 something.... (Free P+P to the UK)
So yes!
My experience was very good indeed!
Though my Nigers are such a small colony that they do not do much and I hardly ever see them!
(Is so much fun to see the first generation minims though! Sooo teesity weensity)
Hope this helps!
