Hello chanquete and welcome here by ANTSTORE,
We ALLWAYS send a complete colony - this includes in every case a queen. The sending of the ants is normaly per DHL or GLS. If you want you can choose express or shipping per dispatch department - but this is more expensive.
Now to your main question: Many thing in holding ants are a matter of taste - so I can´t say what you like even give you some questions to get forward:
1) ant specie
Look at the shop side and choose a kind of specie with the level "for beginners" and hazard class 1 or 2.
2) Then ask you what kind of nest do you want? Do you want to have a look inside of the nest to watch their activities in it? If you answered with yes you can choose between the antfarm (standard or deluxe), Formicarium Highland (for greater ants) or an gas-aerated concrete-nest.
Just tell me which kind is in your matter of taste and which ant species are in your inner choise, then I could help you better.
Greetings
Bianca
