Ants are my nemesis since they literally can sneak into my house and eat my rice
Exactly just casually “saw dust from them TUNNELING through the STRUCTURE of my place”
I don't know what is more unbelievable: The fact that I spent half an hour watching ants or the fact that it was more entertaining than most the movies I watched in the last couple of years.
Just mean you’re getting old.
Agreed
lmfao right?
Which mean either you are:

Facts bro
Im pretty sure that the first scout filled the arena with its scent. Thats usually a good idea if you want to bring foreign animals together - use neutral space for meeting the first time. Since ants are pretty much always marking their territory it would have been a good idea to let them all in the arena at the same time.
I have a theory as to why the other colonies are so shy. You introduced the first colony way before the others and the first had time to send out scouts too which likely filled the space with foreign smells and that is probably why the other colonies are being so very cautious.
100%
I came to say the same. the main chamber smelled of colony 1. the video even says they left a smell trail for their buddies
I actually had the exact same thought as soon as colony 2 was too shy to exit
the first ant of the second colony was like, “y’all smell that shtt?!” i love how cautious they were though, and shows how cool instincts and senses were at hand
Colony 1 is the player that unlocks everything in day one of new DLC.
And has already finished the game lol
Nice, the colony 3 is who steal other player to get easy recourses and colony 2 is who dont leave the spawnpoint because have scare of die
That colony has full prot 4 netherite hehe
Colony 2 is literay doing nothing
but i think they are PARTYING.

Same it was the best escape yet
😅👍
😅yes
OMG i was crying
I've seen beekeepers paint a non toxic dot on queens to differentiate queens in colonies with multiples. That'd be a way to see if queen 5 is being taken care of and actually being able to watch as opposed to seeing and waiting for a dead queen and maybe it's number 5.
He’s so excited that ants are living in his walls lol I wish I had this level of happiness for anything lol
I love how he's more excited about ants running around the house, than the fact they're ripping apart the wood holding the house together... 😂
lol i know
Can’t imagine the owner will be happy though 😂
Ants don’t eat wood. Those would be called termites
😂
Carpenter ants chew through wet or damp wood. So, carpenter ants are a sign that he has a leak somewhere.
Never have I ever felt so invested in ants than when scout 6 from colony one got captured
Oh god, the ants have politics. They will take over the world!
I was literally so worried about what was going to happen to scout #6
I almost cried when the queen walked up

14:33 Is where the actual video starts but still watch the introduction as it explains everything really well
I find these videos so fascinating but dam, they make me itch!!!! 🤣
Since all the colonies are too weak, they would not bother risking taking over other colonies, thus showing no serious aggression. Thus, this is the best time to keep the existing setting so they have time to form ally instead of war.
Wow

True
It seems that ant queens are smarter than some human monarchs.

"The number one rule of ant keeping is to not mix your colonies...it's cruel"

From the “oh yeah, I need to fill in the other tubes” to the “NO” because they weren’t interacting this was strangely funny 😂
Maybe colony one had a head start because they were able to lay a “scent” being the first so it made the next up more cautious and resistant to going forward.

Yea i don't understand why he gave one of the biggest colonies a head start.

This channel is all about ant education, keep them together is the only way to learn more about their behavior. If you are ok with it not having the best outcome that is.
That's the thing. If any of the ant colonies (except Queen 5, because 'Nature') died I'd feel terrible.
@@AntsCanadaYou know what you have to do then. Since this is your passion i can understand how you feel about maybe making a decision that kills all colonies.
What about taking one worker ant from each colony and put them together. Do you think their behavior would be different when there isn’t queen’s present?
@@AntsCanada I personally feel it's vital to observe this kind of intermingling. As an ant keeper to be I want to see what the results of this badly. I know mixing ant colony's is a bad idea but if Canada can find a good way todo it I know I would mix my own colonies when presented with the opportunity.
I hate to be that guy but even if it doesn't go as planned I'd find that information extremely valuable, least of as a 'don't do it this way' sort of thing.
No one can make AntsCanada do it. But as a fan and fellow ant lover I really really want to know. I really really want to see.
@@AntsCanada i think it is an acceptable risk you are trying to study ant behavior this is an experiment leave them be and document as much of it as possible and record observations.
@@AntsCanada even a bad outcome results in new information. I think the fact that the scout regurgitated food and was then let go is a good sign that neither colony is in a position to be hostile.
Personally I'd like to see a mixing of queens since it's not put of the realm of possibility that sister queens would choose to stay together. They would have the same colony pheromones from their mother nest after all.

Forreal 🤣😎🧐👌🏽
The other colonies probably smelled the pheromones laid down by the first colony and regarded it as 1s territory. It would've been better to start off with 2 or 3 exposed to the arena at the same time. Maybe the later colonies would feel emboldened to explore territory that already has multiple scents. Basically like the difference between private and public property.

Given the amount of different ant nests in my backyard, it makes sense to me that most ants are at least able to live side by side without to many problems.
I remember watching ants fighting in my balcony, the war lasted for four days 😂😂
The problem was that by giving colony #1 so much advance time, their scent from the vial filled the arena, which then made all the other colonies hesitant to enter, thinking it was the territory of colony #1. It would be better to release all colonies as close to the same time as possible so they all have a shot at entering the area before the arena fills with the scent of any particular colony.

@@yusufsalim9512 babh oky
I think the problem was colony 1 was introduced ahead - thus giving their scent to the whole 'arena' which the other colonies are 'respecting' . In other words, the other colonies are probably detecting 'outside' as already the territory of colony 1. I am fascinated how this one has played out after these few days.
If there haves been no changes, may I suggest removing colony 1 (leave others as is - thus rest having 'equal' starting point)?
Imao
Not a bad theory. I say leave colony 1, add more food of different varieties in more than one spot? Thus making the others more excited to get out and find it.
I agree to this!
I agree with this one
I agree with you

Wait I did oh ya
Geez time just flew by for me
Yeah mate. How I did watched half hour video about ants? Very good content
Good contANT
Two hypothesis. First is that the opening of colony one was different than the rest. Second hypothesis is that colony one's scent already claimed the common area so the other colonies didn't want to enter another colonies area. A better experiment would have been to connect all the colonies at the same time rather than allowing the first colony to claim the central area beforehand.
Literally all I could think as well. Colony 1 definitely had the advantage by being first.
I also think it would've been better to have them added at the same time. Colony #1 now had the confidence and first scent advantage. But I guess the guy was scared for it not to turn into a bloodbath.
To prove that the scent was the cause we could repeat the experiment letting the first colony to get out before others (as he did here) and see if the other colonies get out at some point (would be interesting also to understand when they get out and if they do it all at the same time). Then do another experiment synchronizing the opening and compare the results.
I don't think the difference in holes matters, all colonies except the fist acted the same way and they had different openings.
Do you know if he continued with the experiment?
Yep as soon as the holes were connected to the 2nd-7th colony the first thing they would notice is a foreign ant’s scent. If you release all of them at once I suspect no ant would reach the jelly. Some might take a few steps outside the hole right away but then smell 6 different scents and retreat
I think your right.
LIKE TERRITORIAL PISSING.
THE SCENT FROM COLONY ONE WAS IN THE AIR FIRST / MAYBE THE OTHER ANTS JUST RECOILED NATURALY.
This is all so interesting omg Im so glad I discovered your channel!
16:29 nothing's more exciting than experiencing bigger and bigger realities and universes bigger than you can handle
You let colony 1 have all the advantage of putting their scent everywhere already which is why none of the others came out. You should have put 8 separate compartments with one shared compartment in the middle with food that way the ants can establish themselves in their own compartments and then interact in the shared compartment
This is correct.
That sounds so cool and like it would work. We don't want the colonies to starve after all.
@@keturahmagee6413 well then you can put smaller foods in their own compartment which will of course run out and the valuable one in the middle, that way you can see whether they'd be hostile for the more valuable food or share it.

Eh keep em together. No point in starting an experiment if you don't intend to see it through. All things considered. I'd say it was a surprisingly civil interaction given how hostile ants can be.
"I grew attached to them after 2 months of care."
So, of course, the solution is a battle royale.
The one to win gets the love.

You are a masterful storyteller. By that I mean narrating a story with emotion for creatures that don't have them, or if they do, not entirely as we understand emotion. Well done. The best ant documentary I've ever seen.
On a totally unrelated note, you have one of the most beautiful houses I’ve ever seen ❤
I'm glad we have people like this in the world, with interests so vastly different from my own, and so passionate about them! I am grateful for the extreme specialization our economical and social constructs have allowed to form.
Keep doing what you're doing! Especially because there are people who wouldn't dare attempt it. I do not have a phobia of ants myself, but my interests lay elsewhere. We need people with an intense fascination for ants.
That interaction didn’t seem hostile, being outnumbered 4-1 plus the queen and surviving says something.
Very true I feel like if they were completely different species it would have turned out way differently
@@badlabs7065 they would've pulled its limbed
Had that ant walked into the claustral cell of a species like the Phoenix empire, it would have ended up in pieces like Jamal Khashoggi.
Idk if the comment make sense but paralisis caused by fear is common to greater living beeings, maybe she just got feared and this ended up with her reactions? Personally i think this sounds quite justificated faced 4+this massive AF queen × 1

Bruuuh same here, this guy still didn't deserve 1k dislikes. This video is long too but man you sure know how to narrate.
Same here, never thought i would subscribe to an ant experiment channel, lol.. Good video bro, you should continue..
How fascinating was the ending bit??!! I mean, incredible. We rarely see colonies interact in a great quality video, but when we do, its hundreds of ants everywhere. There is no way for us to trully understand what if going on and the voiceover is usually more of a storytelling ,rather than a real description of event. But here?? Here you can see its not chaos at all, there is intent and reason for everything that happens, the ants dont really stand around waiting or being stupid, they react instantly and with purpose. The grab, the steal of the nectar, the escape, the run aways, the emergency quick cleaning... everything. Trully amazing and, while I had huge appreciation for ants and all other animals for that matter - this is just another piece of the puzzle that makes me understand and appreciate them even more. Thank you! Amazing work!
I really can’t get over the fact that this dude seems 100% fine with ants literally tearing his house apart but by bit
My only concern is the queen without nanitics might get hurt when another colony finds her. But you should definitely keep them all together for now.
tru
Yeah
True tho
Tube 5 queen is the most expendable one as she's likely already dead for failure to mate. She should be forced on another tube before the rest are opened again to make sure they will be ok.
With no nanitics, she would eventually die of starvation.
I was amazed at the mount of joy I felt when the poor scout managed to escape lol.
Haven’t watched this guy in around a year and I forgot how honestly just chill his voice is love your videos! I know this is a old video but if you see this where can I buy a queen ant?
this is the definition of suspense
Colony 1 had a very defined opening but the other colonies had their entrances partially covered by the cotton, which might had influenced them into staying inside. Another factor is that when #1 was opened, there were no traces of pheromones in the environment. By the time the other colonies were opened, #1 had already laid several pheromone paths and the other ants did smell that when exploring the possibility of venturing out, so they stayed inside as a natural safety. Really interesting insight into the lives of ants, thanks for sharing!
Yes I thought so too…. He should have made their opening entrance properly cleared….
Yes and no
The smell, yes, could have scared them, but in nature they would probably feel a lit of different colonies scents too
About the entrance, it may have bored them a little, but you can see colony #1 dragging pieces of cotton with their feet when they enter the chamber so they don't really seem to care, and also ants are used to having to open new passages, and they could feel with they antennae that there was an opening there, they could feel the air and the smell of food from outside.
We'll never know for sure why they didn't come out at first lol
Probably you should have introduced them all at once or rather create an entirely new environment to try that out...

And it looks like the only clam at this weenies roast.
when she got back to her base camp, I felt actual relief lmao tf going on
i could barely watch i was so scared for the ant!
I have to believe that they didn't kill the interloper because they knew that she wasn't a threat. If they had wanted her dead, she would have been killed right off the bat. They wanted information, primarily where she got that full gastor from. Keep them together! This is going to be VERY educational! Besides, letting all but one go would leave me wondering how they turned out. This is a new epic story that HAS to be told!
Yeah, this is probably the start of co existence since like you said, the interloper would of been killed if the other colony wanted her dead and was seen as a threat, so yeah I agree.
I also agree and just by watching this had me stuck on my recliner and I don't think I blinked one time... This is that one

People like farmers with cats for pests and dogs for herding and predators... or hunters that use dogs would probably benefit most from using live bait to train their animals

Thanks for this video ... amazing
Bro made the ant hunger games 💀💀💀💀💀
i love how AC wrote a semi-book when the ant got kidnapped
Super colony is what is being speculated early in the video, he said it didn't go as expected, so I assume pure chaos.
Damn, this was intense drama. So glad scout no. 6 escaped.

I found your experiment very interesting. Your narrative of the actions was world class. I will gladly look forward to your continued experiments. I agree that the first scout filled the arena with scent, making the other scouts wairy of entering another queens doma.😊❤😂
