My Camponotus pennsylvanicus colonies founded in May 2018. All three survived the winter. One queen succumbed in June and I had to euthanize the colony. I replaced them with a C. americanus colony. All are surviving so far. I’m giving them a final protein load before diapause. Did a trial of urea feeding in an attempt to find a way to add variety to my feeding regimen. Thanks to the forum and Discord for a successful year!
