Yes

I understand

They were. 😅

Thats why I tried to move them! 😅

Got mine from some app called shop.. I'm in Australia but, what about yourself?

Making Ant wars is animal cruelty

Brood boosting 😏 Im just waiting for something to come in the mail

@Kentuckyants-shorts it can be cruel your right, but it can and will happen in nature.

Brood boosting? What about it?

@@Kentuckyants-shorts some ant raid other ants in the wild to obtain brood

Thank you, The first queen paid for this year !

Thank you, Can you guess what nest she is going in??

@@Craiginberra Omg you did!! For the light up nest!! ❤ Absolutely love it! So Happy for you!! ❤️

@QueenCaitiePie you are very wise! Yes that is correct 👏! You know what they say great minds think alike!

@@Craiginberra wise not so much, remembering how I encouraged you to go for it. Absolutely!

@QueenCaitiePie everyone is wise in their own way. 😁

Also that's my favourite species of ant right now.

You are correct! My first Queen had 14 workers with about 7 more on the way!.. but now they have blocked the nest hole. And have stopped using the out world. They have about 3 crickets and about 5 - 7 drops of honey, then closed up nest.

Move the honey.. wait for them to lose interest 👌 hopefully 😅

It will be an action-packed drama, rated MA+ 🤣🤣 Could end in tragic or in happiness 😅

@@Craiginberra 😂

These guys have broken out of 2 out worlds now 😅

@@Craiginberra haha sneaky ants 🐜

I wish! I got stung bad filming this video, so I can confirm they are myrmecia 😁

@@Craiginberra I know

They are a cool species

@@Craiginberra Wow you replied thanks I love your videos I make ant videos to

@@AntsBrisbane im in nsw! I can't wait to check out your channel 😁

@@Craiginberra thanks you 🐜🙏❤️

@@AntsBrisbane no thank you! I love the ant community! Meeting another ant keeper in Australia is the best!

Yes I agree 😁

I know 🤣 tell me about it! That's why I say never take from established colony's 😅 they have been all huddled up so I can't see them properly. At least I know how cool these little guys are, I might seek out a queen in the future.

Nice! Thank you so much!

I would love a colony of honey pot ants 😁 good choice

I love Russia 🥰 im Slavic living in Australia 😄! Novo ants is a good channel! I keep Camponotus, iridomyrmex, pheidole, lasius, crematogaster. And a few others I don't really know the species of. All my ants I find in the wild I have only payed for 1 colony my Camponotus aeneopilosus.

Im sorry to hear about your passed away Camponotus 😔 may she rest in peace.

@@Craiginberra Ants of this species are very nervous, they often eat their brood, well, that’s what we think in Russia. I initially thought that I would not be able to develop this colony.

Moreover, I bought it for only $10

@AlmazAnt yes camponotus are nervous. I have one camponotus colony the queen has eaten its brood 2 times now. I don't think she will make it at this rate. $10 that's nice and cheap 😁. I bought 1 camponotus species for $70!

I would say it could be smaller for different uses like helping with eggs and maybe fighting smaller ants 🐜 🤔? It is cute 😁

Bite sized

I wanted to put a bigger species in the light up nest! 😁

Yes indeed

Im hoping a bull ant species. Some kind of Myrmecia! 😁

They are really nice ants! Good pick! I don't have a colony at all of green headed ants.

This season you should try looking for green head ant queens pls

@Kentuckyants-shorts im always on the hunt! I see many colony's, you think it would be wrong if I try to take an established one?

Well, I’ve heard from many ant keepers, that you shouldn’t take an established colony, but I think it would be fine because I take a established colonies the time in the summer when I have trouble finding queens

@@Kentuckyants-shorts I did it once about 3 years ago when I first started ant keeping

🤣🤣🤣! I was thinking the same thing! It's like they just look at them! They are very slow in attacking

I found the Iridomyrmex making a very long line that was going passed the big nest. I didn't ever realise they were having a war at first.

I might try building one 🤔

Oh no! That's so sad. I hope she gets a few workers!

I really like your ideas! And you Put my mind at ease with the nest hole size! Thank you 😁 could I used dirt instead of cotton? Then they can build later if they want?

@@Craiginberra Dirt for a fact they will pretty much instantly dig through. It's easier if you do something they cant dig through, like a piece of wood or something. Although it might seem like dirt is a good idea since they can expand on their own, knowing ants they'll dig through it anyway just to fulfil their instinct to dig.

@AntsMichigan your on the money with one! I bet they will get bored and dig the dirt for fun 🤣 I will keep idea in mind with the wood/cotton. I like that idea 😁

@@Craiginberra Hope it helps!

@AntsMichigan all information and Ideas help! If it doesn't work for one specific species it should work for another 😁

I think your right. Might need so more of a investigation.
