when is it specie whish IS ABLE to get together , it is possible , the best is when you get them together during catch after swarming ... the only runing in tube and they do not attacking inside. Later they stop quickly run and stay on place where they think is the right place to make new colony - together. They do not feed btw , they also do not clean btw , they laying eggs and get them on one place , and do not attacking.

-number of queens/workers depends on you , all is from nature ... more in PM

So if I catch 2 Lasius niger queen, I just put them in the same tube?(:

[Skippy]

it is better one / tube , but you can make experiments like me

[FredeP]

What do u mean with that?(:

[Skippy]

That mean , if you want stay all 2 queens alive , it is better to separate them 1 queen in one tube no 2 in one. .... and experiments , I am making and I´ve made a lot of experiments with ants in my life , some ant-keepers do not like it , but only trying can research new options with ants in formicariums

[FredeP]

But your queens are they in 1 or 2 test tubes?(:

[Skippy]

some I have polygyn , some monogyn

[FredeP]

Okay, but how u do them pologyn?(:

[JimmyVe]

Skippy i know you like to try out new things but i don't think it makes sense to try to keep 2 queens from Lasuis niger in one colony. But that is up to you off course.

@ FredeP: its better to keep just 1 queen in a tube. Only if you are sure the colony is pologyn you can keep more queens together.

[Skippy]

Yes I always talking about it is better for normal keeper do not try polygyn starting , but as all know , I am not normal ...

ps: sorry for talking we made here , now we have MSN
