Any colony more than a few workers is plenty big enough for an outworld. How are you feeding them without one?

But he said they’re in a Hybrid nest. That’s what confused me.

He said they were exploring a hybrid nest, meaning they were moving in.

Yeah its a antscanada hybrid and yeah they are still exploring they only take up 2 chambers. The way they enter the nest has been thoroughly marked by them so that's where they tend to explore. Yes I have a test tube feeder that I pull off and add more food to at that location :D
