Hi, I am from Latvia
I am a retired professional beekeeper. BUT!!!!
1.formicarius is easier to lift than a beehive !!
2. most ants do not have as much poison as bees
3. I have been collecting books about ants all my life - and their time has come
I worked as a student one summer in the native reserve, where a famous mirmecologist worked. 3 months at lunch I listened to his stories. He was an amazing person, a bear came to talk to him at the station
my ants are now test tubes with messor capitates and struktur
In the spring I hope for the flight of queens Formica rufa and Camponotus Hercululenus
