I've decided to split my journal by species

 

I have 1 C. Fragilis queen, with 1 worker, 2 pupae, and a pile of brood. The seller I got this from said that this colony had an escape so all the original nanitics except for 1 got away. She came with 1 worker, who raised the 1 egg into a larva, then pupa, and unfortunately died a few days before the pupa eclosed. Now, the pupa has eclosed, so I'm back to 1 worker, who is helping raise the new pile of brood. I'm expecting some new workers soon. 

 

Yesterday, I tried putting them in a nurbs-style V2 setup, the worker was exploring, so I went to play videogames. While playing gta, I noticed that my 1 worker was somehow crawling up my arm, so I guess she had managed to get past the olive oil. I took them out and I'll put them back in after my fluon arrives, I've been putting off buying fluon because of its price tag, but people have been saying it lasts a while, so I might as well. This morning I saw my one worker just laying on her side, so I assume she might die soon, hopefully not though.

Unfortunately, the worker died. But there was a new nanitic. So I was kinda lazy when I saw that the nanitic eclosed, and I didn’t post it. It was a few days back and right after she eclosed, 2 more larvae pupated!ppvfsi2dAXkImbugvQP1eV8sd6rQDfA_8v2FO86n

A few more workers have eclosed, and she has two more pupae, there are three workers total.
