So I have a lasius umbratus queen that I wish to form a colony from. If I simples provide her with lasius neoniger larvae will she raise them so that they will help her raise her own workers? If so about how many larvae should I put with her? Would I have to put L. neoniger workers in with her to help her raise the larvae? Where are the best places to find L. neoniger? If you have any other tips for raising L. umbratus they would be very appreciated thanks. Also sorry for the amount of questions I've posted in the last couple days I'm just so new to this.

Sorry I can't help, but don't be worried about asking question. That's why the forum is here. :D :D

 

I did find this under Care Sheets though hope it helps! :D
