    I guess this shows why camponotus singularis produce majors in the colony's early stage, they seem to serve as the queen's royal guards and none of the other workers made it, so they were probably the only reason the queen was still alive

    It’s a shame about the vivarium! You would’ve definitely seen action if you’d have kept feeding the setup like it was still alive. But closer to the nesting area! Great to see the queen is laying again man! ❤️❤️

    If you provide a queen with food in front of their doorstep they take it. My Fedtschenkoi and Turkestanus are also asian and not afraid to 'go out of the tube' and attack whatever is around. Be it a dead bug or even the tweezers - they will tear it to shares and take the winnings

    I had a colony of singularis that died, before they died their only minor died and the queen is left with 2 majors. Then the eggs started to appear like the eggs that yours looked like and then they died one by one. It’s sad looking at the colony like this but yea. Mine didn’t make it like this so I’m not sure if yours would.

    In my opinion, a colony of that size should've never been moved into a setup that large in the first place. Small colonies are in a very precarious position and need attentive care which wasn't provided due to the setup

    Im dont have ants yet. But i have seen some of your tiktoks and videos.
    Its sad to see one of my favorite spices get butcherd like this. Hope they can recover. I have read some of the comments. If food comes close enorth will the queen then eat it. I mean if the majors dont feed them cant you then not just feed her in the testtube instead of the venus nest outworld. I know it will not be so clean but again its just until she get workers again. Just an idea dont know if queens stops find food when they get there first set of workers

    • @AntHolleufer
      @AntHolleufer  2 роки тому

      Thanks for the inputs ❤️glad you like the content. I have seen the workers feed the queen so food is being spread around the colony. Now it’s just about getting the brood to grow bigger. That’s the new big challenge 🤔

    Hallo
    Mir ist das selbe passiert mit meiner C.singularis
    Hatte das Fenster 2 Tage offen neben dem Formicarium.
    Kaum zu glauben aber Lasius niger kam zu tausenden über das Fenster ins Haus und töteten die gesamte Kolonie 300/400 Tiere.
    War kein toller Anblick als ich von der Arbeit heimkam und dieses Gemetzel sah!

  • @alessandroagazzi5359
    @alessandroagazzi5359 Рік тому

    the things that ants lou said aren't 100 % true, in camponotus the mejor workers aren't soldiers, they usually have the role of protecting the nest but if they are only two the will do all the jobs of the colony.
    In the gene camponotus there isn't a real distinction between the mejor and the minor workers, the mejors more then a soldier are more growed workers.
