My Queen Ants Formed a "Mean Girls" Club | The Queen Ant Sorority
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- I created a sorority of several queen yellow crazy ants (Anoplolepis gracilipes) and watched how they would react to living together in a group all raising their eggs together. The social structure of pleometrotic ants was staggering and I was shocked to see the queens form a 'Mean Girls' gang. The whole situation took me back to some traumatic times in high school. Hope you enjoy and learn a few things from this week's episode. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

So, about what I asked at the end of the video: Taking name suggestions now!
I think The Golden Royales would be a good name for the sorority
Wow
If I was you I would send a dead one to doctor general
Or something
Yes Golden Royales fit the sorority
Mikey, if there are more queens being "exiled", will you set up a second nest? One for the "mean girls" and one for the "sweet nerds"? Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
Yes, if oligogyny continues to happen I will definitely have to give them a bigger setup so the queens don't have to be near each other.
seems like they have been taking Amy's brood and attacking her. . . she's missing a front leg and seems very skittish whenever another queen enters her chamber
@@quillclock yeah 100%. i don't see the "rosy" friendship he sees
@@pandammonia234 I see what you mean. Maybe the two visiting queens are just sent out to check for brood. But then again, Queen Amy hasn't yet shed her wings. She could be thinking about nesting far away from the bossy queens as someone suffering from school bullies would want to get away and have some peace. I think we should separate the Queen Amy before she's killed. Then again, she may have been injured before released into the set up.
Why can't needs be mean?
I just can’t get over the beauty of those queens
Right?! 😍😍😍
Same here!!!
Same here.
Yes
Yup
I wake up for these videos. Bullies are everywhere. It's how you handle it and move forward with yourself. Anything is possible with the proper attitude and determination. You all have what it takes to make yourself everything YOU want to be. With that said AC family, let's watch these ants grow into what they are supposed to be! Great videos as always 👌 👏 👍. Cheers yall!
Your storytelling is second to none, and your positivity is as refreshing and life-giving as the rain is to the earth. Love it!
in spirit i am picking up queen amy and wrapping her in a teeny tiny blanket. i love her and i hope the other queens don't hurt her
I have a couple names for these ants :
- "The Radiant Horde"
- "Yellow Madness"
- "Golden Swarm"
- "Solar Sorority"
- "The Yellow Cohort"
#antname #colonyname #name @AntsCanada
Goated
solar sorotity is a fire name
Golden swarm looks like a nice one

Hi Antscanada I love watching your videos. Got me though some difficult times during the pendamic.
Thank you Mike ❤️
We should call them THE GOLDEN GIRLS!!
What a kind, beautiful, and motivational message towards the end of the of the video! I'm sorry that you got bullied, but I'm happy that you had true friends to support and care for you. I'm rooting for Queen Amy!
Never thought an inspiring speech would be in an ant video
Didn't realize I was watching here for half a decade now. Well done Mikey, your series is never not entertaining.
So far this was my favorite video you made thank you so much ❤ love to the ac family 😊
Ant love forever! ❤️🐜
I feel bad for you when you remember such bad memories from high school, I had tough time in high school controlling my emotions and thankfully I now have better control of my emotions
Keep up the good and honest work man!! You got me into antkeeping :)) got my own small colony of lasius niger now
@M1dnight Sw4rm Damn thats awesome aswell, wish I had more species aswell haha
A name suggestion I have is ‘The Golden Soroity’
You could call them The Flood!
Because that's what it's going to be like when they get up to full production.
Hi AC, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the advice at the end it was really helpful
I was homeschooled most of my life due to being bullied in school. I often felt lonely as I have no siblings and all I had was my parents. I did have friends I would occasionally meet up with and when I’d ask them about school they’d tell me I wasn’t missing anything and that it sucked. However no matter how many times they tried to convince me deep down I still felt as if I was missing something. Perhaps it was for the best I never went back to school, but you never know.
Insightful and creative. Nice work, Mikey!
i think that ''Golden Councill'' will be a perfect name for theese yellow crazy ant queens :) #AntLoveForever
I'd like to suggest "Alpha Nu Tau" for the name of your new sorority of yellow crazy ants. Also, would've been a great opportunity to name this sorority of Mean Queens "Regina", "Cady", "Gretchen", and "Karen". 😅
Love everything about this vid. I work in a school and I wish some of our kiddos could hear this message. Most of us have a little Amy in us.
I have some names
- golden gates
- sevet army
- golden swarm
Love the message with this video!
Thank you for the kind message at the end. I really need that today. You're the best Mikey. Till next week
Great Video! And please hit the like button everyone. I got recommended last weeks video, so it really helps. It has been an amazing week digging into this channels amazing history!
Thank you! It sure does help! Ant love forever! Welcome to the Antiverse.
Welcome to the AC Family.
Welcome to the world of ANTS!!! ❤🐜
You should build them another giant terrarium similar to the volcano and the dragon, but based on an '80s highschool.
I think that the group of ants should be called the Sun Sisters. And in the last video you mentioned a beast for Volcania, that beast should be a red crawfish.
Thanks for the video !
Pleometrosis also usually ends in the culling of all queens aside from the dominant queen. If the species is truly polygynous, they're just polygynous. Also, usually it's the workers that do the culling, unlike in monogynous species, where the queens won't get along *period* from the git-go, and will cull each other.
Maybe a name for the colony is the bananas. Because some people use the term bananas as crazy and also since they are yellow it seemed like a good fit as they are yellow crazy ants. Anyway, seeing these videos has given me a different outlook on ants and has made me interested in them
this was a really cool video but especially that last part was a master piece. Thanks for those encouraging words
The music reminds me of those cave diving accident videos. Spooky.
Mikey! I am NOT into bugs but I absolutely love this channel! The stories that come with the bugs. So amazing! I’ve always heard you mention this on your vlog channel so I came to check it out !
That guy: "Heating Fam the ant queens took my baseball. Where's my baseball?"
It may just be the filming angle but it looks like "Amy" is missing or has injured her left front leg, that may be the reason for her banishment. Also, while it again may be the angle and her inability to handle glass, but on queen in the... chapter house seems to also be injured or dying. she also still has her wings and can be seen struggling around the 8:40 mark [and elsewhere]
I feel that 'The Golden Horde' would be a fitting name for them. Just feels right.
thanks man. look forward to your content every week. thank you for making my day a bit better. would love an update on the fungus farming termites if you ever get time
Ants are so underrated 😢 but they are so smart, cute and are normally very good at teamwork:) poor ants that get stamped on by little children 😢😢😢
This is the first thing that came to my head for a new name for the queen ants group and i am not too sure about it but the high school ant-tagonists because they seem to be excluding others and brought him back to his high school days. I know it's a pretty bad pun but its not meant to be. Just a name for that group. I would like to see it. I also really love these videos. I never had an interest in ants but now i love them
I though of a couple names such as ,the golden council , sunshine corals, solar emperors , yellow festivities, supreme sunflowers, and last but not least sunny hayclon
Can you know if the queens you collected are actually fertilized? Is it possible exclusion is based on not giving off a pheromone for the rest?
Bella is the name of a friend I have I hope that Queen live so happy and long life and produces many offspring
i have an idea for the massive colony, ‘The Golden Horde’, because 1, it’s similar to ‘The Golden Empire’ their ancestor, and 2, it’s also the name of a large section of the great mongol empire, and if this colony survives, it would be like a mongol empire sized ant empire
I'd name the queens' sorority as the "Radiant Sisterhood"
I wonder how many queens can comfortably fit in that test tube? Maybe they instinctively know, and evict the excess population from the space?
I have two names
“The Golden Monarchs”
“The Golden Girls”
So many new and young colonies at the moment it’s awesome can’t wait to see the homes you build for them, any plans on any other new colonies in the near future?
The topaz coalition sounds like a good name for the queens in my opinion.
You should call them super ants!
My suggestion for the sorority is: "The golden council" and for the colony "The kingdom of light"
I just saw that somebody else suggested it first, shoutout to @norbertp8509. He wrote "The golden council" first
Best TH-camr of the month #AntsCanada
I love your videos and I feel so bad for those ants 😢
We should name them the golden Spartans
colony design idea a golden palace cut in half by a mirror that's looks like the Hanging garden of Semiramis
youre exactly like me, getting bullied, only have 2 best friends and others that steal my pencils and stuff
After the Golden Empire's fall, the Golden Fortress has taken their place with the "Gold Officials" now ruling the land.
Oh my .. all those moths is like my worst nightmare lol
Queen Amy is probably not fertilized, and is too sad to hang out with the ones that are.
I think they should be named the shining gold army.
What about names like The Golden Gastors, The Rise of Ano Graci, The Sun Dials
Call the queen ants the "The Bumble Queens" get it like Bumble bee:D
I have a question: Could it be that Queen Amy is unfertilized, and she's giving off pheremones signifying such, and that's why the other queens cast her out?
I love your vids AC
Great message dude. You’re doing great work. Keep it up. ❤
I can't wait to see how big this colony gets!!!
What about The Sunshine Soldiers
I have an idea to name the couple of queens! "The Crazy Yellow Club" cuz of the yellow color and the yellow crazy ant species!
You should name them "The Sapphire Syndicate"
i honestly think we should call the new colony the "golden kindom"
What if you name the colony, the golden successors?
Oh, and the first day I found a ant hill, I found 3 that day in school
You could name the colony The Gilded Warriors
Should have marked their gasteters so u could Identify the individual queens more easily, 4 science. Some bee keeper supply companies sell little plastic numbers and safe glue 2 glue them on. They also sell safe paints.
Have you ever tried having a temnothorax colony?
Get them a whole mountain! You'll need one with all those queens!!
because of u i started ant keeping♥ thank you for ur help i keep mymicaria brunnea ants
the ant colont should be named the golden club
I finally finshed high school I enjoy learning so I find it fun I stuck up for my self with bully's and I mostly kept to myself 😂
Is it possible that the queen outcast is unfertilized and the other queens can sense that?
I know this is about the ants. But aaaaaaw what kind of parrot is it you keep in the aviary? 4:38
How is queen Amy doing? Did the mean except her? Is she ALIVE? Can you do a update?
This nuptial flight i caught my first successful colony!
Brass Beasts sounds pretty cool
Some names, yellow jesters, yellow or golden majesty’s, and the royal or regal yellows
i got name Ideas for four queen ants. queen Regina, Queen Karen, Queen Gretchen and Queen Cady. as a homage to the Mean Girls movie
Very interesting difference between some ants and others, I'm excited to see more stories about these ladies 😮❤
I feel like he’s that one guy from quantumainia when all the super sized ants destroy the conquerors army’s
We should call them the plastics
Name idea
Yellow/golden bullets
AC: 2 other queens would regularly check up on Queen Amy and i noticed they were best friends
Actuality: The other 2 queens are threatening Amy and if they ever saw Amy ugly ass wings on the other side, it would be lights out for Amy
😂
Might be fun to give them a sorority name "Alpha Eta Theta". (AnT)
My idea for the colony name is "The Golden Court"
Pale Snow
I hope you’re able to catch a blue ant queen!
day 3 of a checkup on the pheniox empire
Another good quality
Species 555
Meranoplus bicolor
AKA: Bicolored shield ant (according to search results)
But calling them "Species 555" sounds way cooler, like as if it was classified for hyperphenomenal activities
Like an SCP or something
**metal pipe sound**
(Cuz scp-555 is a metal pipe)
