Yeah, I used to think that ants were annoying little pests that would eat food from our hose, but now I really just want to raise a bunch of ants! c: Thanks so much for this awesome video! c:
This was a life saver to actually witness I caught some queens a couple days ago unexpected and had to set them up in cups untill tubes arrive and was worried about moving them in case they started laying but watching a queen move her brood has put me at ease thank you so much
i have a whole colonie i have them in a fish pan of 4.5m on 5m the nest is a meter long and the food is ad yhe other side caus wariors try to attack me
6:01 I would also like to add that I personally found it useful to put sometime underneath the testube so it doesn't roll in the container as this can be stressful to the queen.
+Danish lilya I don't think so, probably just like a roommate, cause we don't take anything from them, we just tell them where they're allowed to be and they do what they would do in the wild.
Just to get this clear, if I randomly find a queen walking through my backyard, she doesn't belong to a colony, right? Otherwise, she would be underground....right?
That's right. A queen that's out in the open would be in the process of searching for a suitable nesting location in order to begin her own colony from scratch.
"Today in the news, 37 female high school students were found being held hostage inside this man's house. The motive is not yet known, but theories suggest that all of them being 'queens' at their school might have something to do with it." Wow that is really messed up.
I am a bug lover (I have 3 Praying Mantis!) and even though I raise ants, watching your videos of them growing makes me so happy to have success and care for those smart creatures, people always don't really look at their great powers and capabilities!
I'm not really looking to start any colonies but I find this fascinating. The editing and the narration is really good and I appreciate you putting a lot of effort into making these videos. You are clearly passionate!
Even though I do not have a ant colony or anything of the sought, I still found this video very interesting. I'm actually starting to think about getting/making my own ant colony.
That was a great video. Very informative, covering most of the important details and tricks for the new keeper. No loud music and no robot voice. Many thanks. Chris UK. Subscribed.
Awww, I felt pretty happy seeing the Queens work pay off and her finally seeing her first generation of babies. The Cycle of Life just went full swing, The Queen can die at peace now. WHO PUT THIS BOWL OF ONIONS HERE?!
They mate with drones (male ants) during a period known as nuptial flights. After mating has occurred, the males die, fulfilling their only purpose in life. Once mated, a queen is able to lay fertilized eggs for the remainder of her life, without the use of another male partner.
Yes, drones have wings, and in most cases, the female alates do too. Once the female alates have mated, they shed their wings and are known as de-alates (fertile queens).
I love how your content thoroughly teaches how to ant keep. It's like the next level to AntsCanada. I'm not planning to ant keep but I can imagine that people over there interested would go here. Maybe you & AC can collab on something?
***** Depends. I rather like boxes. But as you said, ants can't communicate whether or not they're "fine" and are arguably incapable of feeling "fine", so feeling sorry for them is a bit silly. :P
***** A silly comparison, imo. In this non-hypothetical world, humans are dominant because we can think, not because we're bigger. If an ant is trapped, it doesn't mourn its lack of freedom or wish for a more pleasing decor. It simply doesn't have the ability.
lmao, clearly you know nothing about ants. They actually rather like spaces like the one in a test tube to found their colonies in. Its not like she lives there forever either, and we know they like it because in the wild they make chambers that are startlingly similar.
VERY INFORMATIVE.Thank you because I am doing research to start my own colony. I bought nice formacation and now just looking to buy a queen ant because it's winter up here in Massachusetts now.
Thank you. So informative. We were worried about what to do about the discolouration of the water in the test tube. We'll definitely be offering her new digs now.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Sorry for the choppy audio in some parts of the video. Looking to get a better microphone soon.
+SoulSlicer 9000 yep
i like your videos its helped me learn the ways of ants and how they work
Thanks Tyler, great to hear.
why did you steal so many queens ????
I catch queens in order to raise and observe them and I often distribute some to others who wish to do the same.
Now teach me how to raise my children.

Just do the same as in the video. You need of course a bigger tube.
And some lube.

Good work 👍🏻
Congratulations! :D
Awsome! Mine got her first yesterday, now she has 3 she might get more!

I can bet the ants would feel like a slave........

I've never been into ant-keeping but this was definitely educational and very interesting to watch!
Am I the only person that thinks the queen feels so lonely and sad? ;-;
Only if you project human emotions on non-human ants.
No they don’t Feel lonely or sad but still it’s good that you think about them
The queen won't need to run away from the boys.
Idk but the queen will lay eggs and when the brood develops there will be worker ants to help here
This comment is so cute haha

a small loan of a million d0llars but sometimes it isnt beautiful especially when they bite into you, it hurts like hell

That's great!
Same here!
Nice! 😀
when u say ''catch another queen'' i get the feeling that im watching or playing pokemon
The Lonely One lol true
That is basically what you do. You literally will get a couple of test tubes, and look for wandering ant queens.
Gotta catch em all
I’ve watched maybe 30 of these videos but I cant stop. Im definitely getting an ant colony one way or another
I found a fire ant colony and i got two ants one is male one is female i think?
I got a carpenter queen ant
I am so high. How did I come across this video
literally same
lol i was gonna ask the same thing
Fuck man the weed is telling us something
fuuuckk me too
we're all here for no reason
🐜🐜🐜I hate ants but this makes me want to raise them. I have no idea how I got here but I've been down the ant hole of UA-cam for hours 😂🐜🐜🐜
watching these videos remind me how beautiful insects can be
I originally tapped on this video because I wanted to raise a queen ant. I just got bit by 2 ants. Never mind, I don't want to raise ants anymore.
😂
Just find more passive ants. Some bite/sting less or not at all.
Move to Washington we are cruel-ant free
You know there are ants called carpenter ants right?
I think their sting is actually beneficial to you, similar to a bee's. And don't expect to raise fire ants and not get bit.
as much as i hate ants, i think they're pretty cool.
yeah
cute for me
***** lol yeah. Except spiders.
I'm never gonna watch ant videos anymore, now I've got the feeling there are ants on me.
I get that feeling only from spiders
I watched this and i thought an ant was crawling on me i was rolling😂

“After a month, if the queen hasn't laid any eggs, it’s maybe..”-it’s maybe I caught the wrong ant

Wait, they lay eggs without any partners?
.
They mate with drones (male ants) during a period known as nuptial flights. After mating has occurred, the males die, fulfilling their only purpose in life. Once mated, a queen is able to lay fertilized eggs for the remainder of her life, without the use of another male partner.

Yes, drones have wings, and in most cases, the female alates do too. Once the female alates have mated, they shed their wings and are known as de-alates (fertile queens).
