I need your help! Are these both Camponotus Discolor Colonies!? It is hard to tell but one queen is darker than the other so now I am curious if I have two different types of ant species!

I find it very amusing when the "workers" begin to pull and/or push the queen around when needed. ROFL
Yeah it’s funny watching them do that. Stubborn queens are sometimes the best queens lol!
JKAntsNest have awesome Growth Chamber Nests too 👌 Basically a circular steel mesh pond for humidity 😤
5:10 I think it’s an entrance plug
I have 1 colony of C. discolor and they are my favorite. Wish I could catch some here.
Yes! I love discolor! Such a fun species to have
@@tennesseeantkeeper8206 are you on formiculture forum?
I am not.
We’ll, if you get any C discolor queens, I’d be interested. I have APHIS permits.
How hard is it to get that permit? I am interested in getting one. I currently have 22 Camponotus discolor queens all in founding!
Hey like the content man glad to see others likes Tar Heel ants stuff as much as me
I have yet to be able to find better nests. I really want to try foranto nests out. I just have yet to get one!
@@tennesseeantkeeper8206 I hear those are good hey man mind seeing what you think of my content since you been doing this longer? (I think) like to learn from a more experienced ant keeper
Yeah I’ll check it out here in a few!
@@tennesseeantkeeper8206 alright thanks man if you wait a bit you’ll be seeing my full collection I’m working on downloading my newest video
I’ll keep an eye out for it!
cool, nice love your vids :D
My crematogaster do bite, but it doesn't really hurt at all, just tiny tiny kisses lol.
Exactly!
Where did you catch the queens?
I actually catch all my discolor queens in my back yard around 4-7pm!
Awesome
These are so nice. Can’t wait to get a few. They have a good deal going right now on the site.
These nests are amazing! I actually just ordered a new nest from them today but I’m not going to spoil it! It will be revealed in a later video!!
Could you send the link to the site?

The deal for 5 nest… I just couldn’t pass up on. Took me a while but I pulled the trigger.
Well worth it.
Where do you get the water tower from im starting a colony and I’d like to have EVERYTHING I need prior to moving them inside of my Hearth xl
There are a few places to get the Byformica Liquid Feeders. I find amazon to be the best place to purchase them!
Im going to add the links to the description of this video for you because sometimes TH-cam doesn't allow links in comments!
Thank you
this man goes to sleep at 5:30 PM?
Wait… that’s too early… I’ve been lied to my whole life!
I got a Camponotus Floridanus queen with 10 workers and a small pile of brood. Would they be ready to move in to a mini hearth? Or wait till they have more workers?
I moved one of my campos into a mini hearth at around 10 workers. If you don’t want to attach tube to the side of the nest you can gently tap them into the outworld from their these tube. Just be GENTLE! After you dump them (if that’s the route you go) feed them and leave them alone for a day or two to let them calm down a bit
I got their tube attached to a wakooshi luna pod. So hooking a tube up for transfer should be easy. Then they can take their time and move on their own. I just do not want to move them to early. As they do not hibernate/diapause. The time of year should not bother them. They been on a heat cable for some time.@@tennesseeantkeeper8206
@@tennesseeantkeeper8206 Thank you.
What is the purpose of nest mates?
Sorry it took so long to get back to you! The nest mate is what holds the water for the ants to drink!
