Aphrodite is responsive to light again  :yahoo: ! She undid her legs a little and can raise her head and open her mandibles, so I'll check on her once a day to help her get on her feet again (quite literally).

I honestly think queens will do better in a more closed off space as opposed to an open, cavernous one like the Mini Hearth.

Well, yeah but the mini hearth isn’t that big...it works great if the queen has at least 7 workers
