Hi - I have 2 separate colonies of Tapinoma Nigerium (1Q~10W and 1Q~15W). Has anyone any experience of merging colonies?

Thanks!

I know Tapinoma sessile can and will merge colonies, so these may. I would suggest chilling them in a fridge or something and then introducing them just to be cautious.
