Now, if I were to just put 4 feet of soil on top of there nest would that make them move there whole operation up to a level I'm more willing to deal with?

The winged queen was anging around in a trail of ants. This is probably a mail rght? But what was he doing?

Does this mean that the nupcial fly is going to start soon?

Can this be a non fertalized queen?
