Moving My GOLDEN Honeypot Ants (Myrmecocystus mexicanus) Into A New Nest!

  • Check out as I move one of my GOLDEN honeypot ants into a brand new nest! Moving them is always an exciting but nerve-wracking experience as you have to be extremely careful to not harm any ants in the process! They were transferred from their small, cramped mini hearth into a gorgeous new Tar Heel Ants fortress. Myrmecocystus mexicanus is one of if not the biggest honeypot ant species out there, so they definitely needed the extra space!

    Tip: You shouldn't force an ant colony because the workers may get injured when you dumbed them in the setup. You should just connect a tube to the main nest and let them move the workers will drag the repleats. And all workers are important in that stage. Anyways i like the video keep it up!

      Repletes can't fit through the tubing and most likely will be accidentally torn or abandoned by workers
