    • @Dcolony

      We have an expansion hole on the front of the glass buddy, if you mean how to clean for reuse? Since we can't clean it if they're inside, The lid can be open for each nest buddy once they've move to another set up.

      That's my dream project buddy with multiple ant colonies too, but I don't have a big enough place for it now. Maybe in the future if we got succes here in yt, cause we need big enough space so the ants won't be able to raid the other inhabitants easily.

      Drinking water is a must buddy so it should be always available for them. If you mean the nest, just water it if it looks dry. You can tell by comparing it to the hills around it which is so light cause of dryness.

    It looks cool, but would the ants actually stay within the nests?
    The only reason why I ask that is because ants can actually nest within damaged grout, so I'd imagine the ants would eventually move into the grout itself instead of staying in the nests.

    • @Dcolony

    Hello! I recently found a strange type of ants in my yard. I dug up the nest and put it in a jar. Idk if I got the queen or not but I did get broods. My question is what type of ants are they? Small but not tiny, bodies are dull (not shiny) and they are all black except the tips are white on antennas. They are docile. I found them in the ground under a plant near an oak tree. They seem very reclusive. Only one or two ants foraging. Not a line of them. Not very many either (like fire ants) so no swarm of them when I dug them up. Maybe I found a new species. lol I can send you video of them if you want.

      I've never bought queen ant my self buddy, I'm just hunting queen's. Just search online maybe you can find thread of nuptial flight season near your area. I'm from the Philippines and the best month to hunt is from may to August. In differs on places so do a research for easier hunting buddy, just a tip queen ants fly most on hot and humid day. Some at night.

    • @Dcolony
      @Dcolony  6 місяців тому

      That's not a good sign buddy, the best thing you could do is give her a honey but remove left overs. then hide her in dark quiet place for a month before checking her again and hope for the best. Or you can also let it go to give her a chance to participate in another nuptial flight.

      @Dcolony  8 місяців тому

      That's unfortunate buddy, if you're just starting just wait for nuptial flights for free queen ants.I'm not not sure with your location, but ants usually starts to fly on a hot humid day most of the time summer. The best time to take note is a few days after the first strong rain. Good luck buddy hope this helps!

    • @sillyface6950
      @sillyface6950 8 місяців тому

      I'm not from Germany but I never looked into ant species when I started my colonies, I just went out when they were flying and got me some queens (some I lost naturally, a few were due to my own error) but I now have 5 colonies. [2 black, 3 red]
      All my ants are only just starting to wake back up as the weather is warming, and my red ants that I found last year so far only have a very small number of workers.
      While I know other parts of the world have leafcutter or weaver or seed eating ants, I don't think there's any of that where I live so I'm not too worried about not being able to provide them with specialist things that colonies like that may need.

    • @Dcolony
      @Dcolony  8 місяців тому

      Start with what's specie available around you buddy, that's the best way to earn experience. From what I've heard lasius is pretty good starting colony, check it out if it's available in your area.

    • @Dcolony
      @Dcolony  9 місяців тому +32

      If it's a newly caught queen buddy, you should identify it first. If she's a claustral queen no need to feed her until she had her 1st batch of workers, if semi claustral queen, you should feed her every 3 to 4 days.

      Maybe they don't need protein yet buddy, check if they have larvae present as the larvaes and queen is the only member who needs protein. If they're somehow present just Let them relax in a quiet dark place and try it again after several days.
