I'm New to 'anting' and would just like to know if I'm doing everything right.
I keep both queens in little rectangular containers and keep the containers in a cardboard box under my bed. I give them water about once a week with an eye
dropper. (you can see the ant in the last pic drinking from the cotton that i just moistened)
i check on them about every other day, sometimes less (starting now im not going to check on them for a week though cuz i just got a new formica queen).
Just want to check if I'm doing everything alright this is my first time.
A question about my carpenter ant queen now: i will be going away to NC on August 2nd and returning on the 16th. my carpenter ant has some large lava and
eggs. should i leave her on her own? it would be very stressful for her to take her with me.
do you think workers will hatch while im away? should i put some honey in there before i go?
