So I believe one of the AntsDakotas suggested this the other day. I haven't seen any eggs from my queen yet. Should I go along with this?

I believe you meant: "I can alate".

She mated, though. Ants4Fun, from whom I got the queens, witnessed it himself.

Should I do this? I have prenolepis workers in my backyard so I might try this.

I introduced 3 workers to my queen, and AntsDakota introduced a ton, so i want to see whose does better so i know what to do in the future.


Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
