Do you think we might be able to recieve some new products around / before christmas? If so, I would like to look into them and possibly buy them then.

I am interested in some of the small Galileo feeders. I have 4 colonies of honeypots from the September nuptial that have nanitics and would like to place some small feeders in with them. Any chance you have pack hiding somewhere? Thanks.

Until retail units are available again on Amazon in early 2018, byFormica liquid feeders are only available in multiples of 6, with a minimum order of 18 pieces. Contact us directly at support@byFormica.com for a quote, or via PM here or on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/byFormica

Due to incredible demand in 2017, byFormica products continue to be temporarily sold out worldwide. In response to this demand and to user feedback received in the last year, we are taking major steps to improve product quality, and are massively scaling our manufacturing operations to ensure more consistent product availability into 2018 and the future.

Upcoming product quality improvements include, but are not limited to:

• Major design revision for byFormica liquid feeders, featuring greater durability of plastic components
• Major reformulation for Sunburst Ant Nectar, featuring improved shelf life and receptivity, and new product formulation variations for specific use cases
• New Fluon applicator (easier to use)

We are working hard to bring byFormica products back to online retailers worldwide, and expect them to be available again in a few weeks. Thank you for your support!

Any news?

[Serafine]

Yep, that would be nice. I need bigger feeders, my Camponotus have grown to such a size that they suck one of the 4ml feeders dry within three days.

Yes. I'm about to cave in and buy Hummingbird Nectar from Walmart since I need some ASAP.

 

Has anyone used Walmart nectar? I noticed that they have large liquid containers and a 'mix' that you add water to.

Nothing new to share at this time.

That is a tremendous amount of growth! Glad to hear they're doing so well!

Many people use this lower-priced alternative. I would assume that the composition of the dry mix is at least 98% sugar, and will give you much more flexibility in determining the ratio of sugar to water that works best for your ants.  Perhaps you could search the forum for related topics, or start a new topic for specific advice from users who have used these products?

I really didn't expect that it would be very good. Almost a joke, but I would be willing to try if there was any hope.

Sorry. Did not mean to hijack the thread or disrupt its intent. Just a thought that popped into my head because of the topic.

Just wondering if you have an ETA on liquid feeders, I'm in no rush but will need some in the near future.

Yes, Fluon will be available again on Amazon very soon.

They're manufactured, but I'm awaiting other business processes to get them back onto Amazon.  They should be available again in a couple weeks.

Will the big feeders be available at another place than antkeepingdepot (like amazon, ebay or any european ant supplier)?

Since antkeepingdepot only accepts Paypal or credit card I cannot buy there.

How do you buy stuff online?

[sgheaton]

..The only thing I use cash for is paying for my haircut because a $20 is easier to give as tip than bring credit with percentages into the fray.

Bank transfer or gift cards (amazon).

Edited by Serafine, May 15 2018 - 6:06 AM.

[drtrmiller]

Yes, these and many new byFormica products will be coming to Amazon in Europe and Canada also, very soon.

 

Also, for purchasing on Antkeepingdepot.com, one could purchase a credit card gift card in a store (in the US, there are Visa, MasterCard, and Amex gift cards), and use the PayPal option to pay using a credit card without an existing PayPal account.
