I was never interested in ants until I saw your channel in the recommendation section. The first video I saw was you fire ants planning an escape. I thought the title was funny so I watched it and now I am SOO interested! Thanks bro!
P.S. Shouldn't ants be under a heating lamp? I don't know..
+Alex ._. Thank you! No, ants don't need a heating lamp unless you are keeping them in a cool, air conditioned room. The nest will also need a heating cable or mat. They are like reptiles that way.
u still watching?
@@Beginingofbetterness i am
And also, normally, when you are using lamps, it's to change their temperature. If you got the queen nearby, I don't think you need it unless you keep it in a room that's cold... well..
If you ordered it, and it is from another country, I don't suggest doing it cause it can resolve in escaping and either bringing an alien type of literally anything that could affect the environment, or die. You can find most of the informations online about their normal climat temperature, environment and feeding type.
Since it's been a while, I wonder what happened...
Edit: Always get informations about the animal that you are willing to have as a pet. Plus, it's AntsLove!
0:51 hey pause here and look at top left.
Is that a smiley face I see??!!!
I saw it too xD
Dont see it
NOT ABLE TO UNSEE NOW I HATE YOU
i almost snorted my food up when I saw that
Don’t see it
The poor tropical people who clicked off before 5:11
Ikr he just drops that important bit of information, oh and if you have tropical ants and you do this you'll kill your colony.
Peg Leg LOL all their ants died, SCREW YOU ANTSCANADA jk but that is really funny
good 1
Peg Leg you know hes from phillipines right
Now they just need to wait for when it gets cold. In the tropics.
Great video. There is so much information in this video. You have used ants to explain a lot of things.
+cision thank you so much for watching!
AntsCanada I saw your smiley face :)

AntsCanada plz let the Golden Empire move into the new terrarium
Just found your channel and at the same time rediscovered my love for ants, I love your videos mate.
Absolutely loving your channel! Great find
+Joé Desbiens thanks so much! Ant love forever!
AntsCanada plz let the Golden Empire move into the new terrarium (sorry if I'm bothering you)
Yeah totally
Alright. Doing deep dive start on your videos and it’s really refreshing to see a creator go even more wholesome/informative versus all the other creators that went more sensationalist. Inspiring.
hey I definitely appreciate the information. my girlfriend has several question in regards to hibernating and you answered every single one of them. keep it up and keep this great Channel alive
Awsome video bro love the passion you put in your videos
I service pest control in Southern California and loving your channel! Glad I found this🤌🏻
The thing at the end of the vid : dont hibernate tropical ants, should be placed at the beginning of the video.
Thanks for the very informative video! Now I can appear even more knowledgeable to my friends.
I can't stop watching your videos they're so intresting
I think about having an ant farm from time to time. So cool to see videos like this!
Great Video Mikey!
A few years ago, I got a few ants and a small container for them for Christmas. Unfortunately, it was before I watched these videos, so I didn't know how to care for them. Anyway, I got them in a little tube that was kept cold. The ants were huddled together and not moving, so we at first thought they were dead, but then they started to move around after warming up inside. I realized that they must do that in the cold, in order to hibernate. Hopefully, I'll get more one day and know how to properly care for them, thanks to watching your channel :)
Thank you for this wonderful Video sir
Interesting and informative. Really fascinating
good video man! keep it up!
Just discovered your channel and already addicted to it :p

Hello! Mikey Bustos I Luv Ur Vlogs And Ant Videos!
I live in Canada and usually around late September early October I simply put my colony in my shed with some blankets and sheets over the colony, haven't had any issues.
One correction - The subsurface temperature, at the depth where it remains constant year-round, is the mean average of the yearly temperature for that location. (Not necessarily 10C.) It's warmer in Brazil, colder in Norway. Warmer in California at sea level, colder in California in the mountains. I spent my youth exploring caves all over the world and the temperature of most areas of large caves is constant. Believe me, the Minnesota caves are much, much colder than the caves in Costa Rica! (And much less active biologically, too.)
As kids we used sports freeze on ants.
Truly amazing how they turned into little isicles, then they thawed up and kept on working as if nothing had ever happened.
Hi how are you? Thank you for the great video
good
Are Honey Bees actually related to ants? Apis Mellifera ? Also, here in the Northeastern United States, I see mounds that around 1 foot in diameter and approximately domed a little over one foot high, covered in grass. The water table is high and these mounds are filled with ants, particularly prominent in winter. Do you have a video showing ants making above ground water escapes like that? If you'd like to see it, I can make a video, but I think the ants would be exposed after breaking it open and would die in the cold. Thanks for the interesting video and ant facts :) Thumbs UP!
Bees, Ants, and wasps(maybe termites too) all come from a common ancestor
SageePrime sort of termites. Termites are insects but they aren't particularly close to ants. They are closest to cockroaches. Also bees,wasps and maybe ants most likely evolved eusociality separately as there are solitary bees and wasps.
Technically if you believe in evolution everything is related to each other all from some common ancestor
Blade The Shinobi as I said they are all insects so they are closer than most but not as close as bees wasps and ants
JuicyWatermelone *species*.
Now I know, and knowing is half the battle......Thanks AC...you rock!!!
+iconforu2c thanks!
+iconforu2c let me guess, now your gonna go kill them during winter :D
Wtf?
AntsCanada plz read what I said. Sorry to annoy u but every comment I see from u in this section, Ima ask for Golden Empire to move in
The "anti-freeze" pun was hilarious 😂.
MORE VIDS FASTER PLZZ (I LOVE THEM)
+shpooky Shpooky Trying my hardest! :)
better be (you got some vids to make up!) :D
i wish you good luck
keep making more videos
Great video! :)
+Sam A Thank you!
AntsCanada (im sorry to bother you God of Ants but plz let the Golden Empire move into the new terrarium)
Just learned something new
hey !! I have a question! What happens if you separate 1/3 of your ant colony for about two months and then join them back together ? Will they fight or will they remember each other ????
These older videos are still great, Mikey.
this was well-made. :)
+Ramir Arcega Thank you!
Hey AntsCanada, I like your channel, just found it by chance. When I was young I often caught and released soft shelled turtles for pets after keeping them a while. and I was given an ant farm. Unfortunately there were no ant care books in my library and I never saw a queen inside. They all perished and I don't know why. Maybe I can figure something out from watching a few of your videos.
I love your video from Korea^^
I've been looking for one for about four months now
Ant luv 4 evar!
omg!!!now I know why my ants lately
almost nothing I did made me very worried
thank you very much
+Luca Lambooy Now you know! Ant love forever!
AntsCanada lol in all ur vids I feel like there's ants crawling on me and sometimes one or two actually are. I live in Florida so that's nothing new. They are sugar ants though so they are
Mostly harmless. Although they make my cat's lips swollen when she tries to eat them. :( also I luv honeypot ants and the Golden Empire. I would never actually keep and ant Colony because it looks so hard in ur vids. Prob cuz ur taking care of like 4 ant colonies.
I absolutely hate ants but I love your videos and find them interesting
Thank you for watching!
AntsCanada I supposed you already got my message
it doesn't matter what your race is. all that matters is that you're making educational videos. thank you for that.
Humans have no race
At the beginning, he said in some places, winters can get to -40 Celsius. That is equal to -40 f. Celcius or Fahrenheit are unnecessary details at -40
your videos kinda inspired me to make an ant colony too! where and how do i start? got any tips?
Got 2 Queen + 6-10 workers of Messor Aciculatus on the way and just wanted to know if it was true that they don't need to be hibernated? I planned on using a 5W heatmat and gradually introducing the queen up to a maximum of 25C and see how she responds with her brood development in the founding stages if she is accepting of the heat. I live in the UK so winters can get relatively cold here but not drastic - though I understand hibernation is critical for colony success if the species does require it however want to ensure the best for my queen since the site specifies they didn't need hibernation but I have found conflicting sources since they appear to have less documentation than most species.
I have seen your videos and have become a fan pretty quickly. I want to try out the ant hobby myself but still have so many doubts. If you could help me out I'd be really grateful. You see, I live in Bogota where the weather varies quite a lot. Its chill in the mornings and at night but during the day it can be pretty warm. In order to mantain my colony warm, what are some tips you would recommend?

You should do another update video :)
At 49 there's a smile face at the top left
I already knew but I'm not an ant keeper I'm just very intrigued by ants and a large amount of animals, space, and nature in general.
I've been hibernating my pet marauder ants for 2 years already, they seem fine, just as pretty as 2016 when they went to sleep
cool
Mr. Mikey I am your fan from vigan! We took pictures in front of max. (my uncle was the dude who took so many pictures)
Creepy and cute at the same time hahaha. Thanks for the info to feed my curiosity even though I'm not an ant keeper!
For such a tiny insect they are quite clever
In Bronx New York it's is currently 67°F right now and I have not seen one worker.
+Jayden Huertas hibernation season is in full effect. :)
POST MOREEEE
honestly I am completely drunk and was thinking, how do ants survive winter
as I saw a frozen colony/nest outside the day befor. I learned a lot, truefacts
Cool facts
Litter ally
1:02 smiley
The intro is so nostalgic
Awesome video, but I just don't understand, how do they get food in the winter?
They store it in their gasters
0:56 you can see a smiley face top left
We live on an old construction landfill where it use to be a swamp. You dig 2 feet then hit 6 inches of clay. After that you have tree branches, stumps, cement chunks, and tons of STILL LIVING CLAMS!
I can’t imagine the ants liking that area but they die cause the underground tunnels to make sink holes because of releasing built up air. 50 years later and I can still dig where gutters drain and find living clams under the clay. I can pull up tree branches that won’t decay because of lack of air.
Just out of curiosity. Do you have any videos on honey pot ants?
He does :D
The deeper from the ground you go, the further from the surface you go ..................................
It's a general rule of thumb, yes, but imagine things like caves, where the air will cool, so will the ground around it, or perhaps the colony is on a hill, so while from above you're rapidly getting deeper, but from the sides it's more gradual.
what the fuck are you talking about?
+arodlilman the more deeper you get the hotter it gets
So I guess your gonna say the earth core is hot, wrong it's an ice ball dumb ass
There is a type of ant in high elevation forests of Montana. Red head and thorax, black abdomen. Seem to be fairly aggressive. There nests seem to be huge, with the mounds sometimes being 3-4 feet above the ground. The mounds always seem to be mostly pine needles. I'm curious as to what this type of ant probably is and if they are considered decent for the outworlds/formicariums that ants canada sells? It seems to me that I would end up having to own a lot of outworlds and formicariums =P I only think of them as aggressive as they killed every other type of ant my brother and I tested them against 9/10 times. They were also our place to sacrifice all spiders and grasshoppers.....we were little sadists.
Hey I stay in Chicago and I only have one question How would you Mode a formicarium build for winter...???
Where am from summer is about 10 degrees Celsius
Hey Mikey, I'm from Brazil and I watch your vídeos since past year. I've got 2 Pachycondyla queens and one of them already laid some eggs. they're in a test tube, but I don't know too much about this genre of ants. Could you give me a simple explanation about Pachycondyla ants? I guess i've got Pachycondyla striata and Pachycondyla villosa.
wew a Filipino i saw you on CAVEFAN episode
Filipino pala ako
What's the best climate for ants
what are the top ten best pet ant species in maryland
Still watching thru ur videos.. still thinking how is this not an actual educational tv show
I plan on catching a queen around my house, so if I keep her in the garage the temps will stay relatively close to what it's like outside... will i need any type of moving the colony later?
About that pic of the dirt and grass... I saw that smiley face!
Aka 0:50
Aka 0:50
+Meowmers The great around it
Why was there a smiley face in the clouds :)
I live In Southern California and bugs never stop wondering around so do they even hibernate
It's negative 20 for me!
And I have very sensitive skin, so when I'm warm, I'm really hot.
And when I'm cold, I'm an ice cube.
So when I get warm and then go outside, the change takes a toll on my body
Do you have to keep them cooler during winter?
so the don't need food while hibernating? and when do I need to start hybernating them? I live in europe.
