    Today I learned something new. It seems that Lasius fuliginosus or “de glanzende houtmier” is a fascinating ant that is very common in Flanders. Now I will have to go on an expedition to find these little guys. As they mostly live in trees or also in the wood of coffins in graveyards, I will probably go for the first option. Wish me luck

    2:00 i read CRUSHING THOSE for smaller colonies does help and i can confirm. When there only like < 2mm ants or so they cant really carry or crush those seeds.
    I saw them THROW OUT the hard yellow ones and take grass and others with them! Only later on they also took the yellows...

      Try a tiny mortar.
      Mine is 7cm. Ideal.
      Can also crush charcoal tablets before mixing them with earth/substrate. Charcoal kills mold but ants don't mind. In fact a few species gather it and place it around the nest. I think they know of the effect it has...
      Perhaps that's of use someday. I never heard that one mentioned in videos and rarely in forums. Almost a secret tip that might save a colony...
      ps. almost forgot: 1 penny sized tablet on ~1-2 glasses worth of earth. Traces are enough. You probably won't even see it.
      anyhow have a good one!
