So I wanted to start a thread for people in this area because I feel like there isn’t really any attention paid to this area of Canada, I hope that there is enough members to help contribute to this thread.

 

just saying it’s going to be 16* C (dunno how to the the circle thing) but I doubt the snow will melt enough by then

I'm Canadian, but on the west, in British Columbia. I can still update data and flights from my area if need be.

But yeah definitely true, there's not much interest around these areas in general I'd say. Hopefully we can get more folks on the thread!

There used to be a very active queen sighting thread for Ontario.

I guess I can, It is just that I wanted an thread for eastern Canada

Hey guys, do you think we should rename this thread and turn it into a Canadian anting thread? I’m proposing this because of how every province has almost the exact same species, do you this that’s a good idea?

I'm up for it! Sounds like a good idea, but we should get the consent of other Canadian ant-keepers just to confirm. I'll also check out AntDrew's link to see if we can revive it. 

Edit: Nvmd AntDrew's link was for Ontario, so I don't think I can participate.

Yeah, hopefully we can see if the other Canadians are up for it! I would like to sort of create our own little community

Hello Everyone;

 

I think a Canadian thread is a great idea and I'll be glad to participate.   I don't do much queen hunting anymore, but if I can help or answer any questions, please let me know.   Canadian ant keeping does have some specific challenges because of our climate and other factors, I'm sure it'll be helpful to be in contact with other ant keepers in a similar situation.

If one or two more Canadians agree, I will make it official.

Just mentioning, I am getting weather reports that Wendsday will be 17 degrees Celsius, I definitely think that the snow will melt earlier, than last year
