Hello uncle_tome!

Connecting the test tube with the antfarm deluxe is the best you can do. Now you have to wait and be patient, in some cases the ants will move into the nest very fast (like Peter said) in other cases it took some weeks.

Gave them food and they will develope, after getting more individuals it will get to small in the test tube and they will settle in the farm. Or the water after the cotton get empty and it will gets to dry.

Give some honeywater on the inner side of the lid, its easy to clean away after a few days. Small pieces of insects can you put a the sides where you can also remove them easely and clean the part with a cotton swap.

Sorry to tell you but you're queen may never come out. She might feel comfortable in their and doesn't think she needs any more space. After awhile you might wanna tap on the glass lightly and try to get her to move you can also try putting black construction paper around the formicarium.
