Hey everyone. Today I checked my ants and what i see was so sad. one of my queens died and one of them was not moving. She was only moving her antennaes. And last week my other queen Tetramorium Caespitum has died. I've got 2 other queens and they are normal. They have their eggs. I don't know what's happening with my ants. Do you have any opinion?

Sorry. The mortality rate of founding queens is just really high. They will randomly die for a number of reasons.
