PHEIDOLE QUEEN

This is my pheidole queen. I think she is pheidole noda, not sure. She has a large pile of eggs.

Sorry for the blurry queen  :warning:  :warning:  :warning:

She has now some larvae.If you look closely you can see the larvae and the egg pile is large.I'm hoping there will be a lot of workers.

 


And her gaster just has dirt not a golden coloured gaster.

I tried to feed the queen some honey but she didn't accept it.

The honey just made the test tube more dirty. But all the eggs are taking a brown colour hopefully all eggs will become larvae this week.

Some larvae are also becoming a light brown colour.

If you want to clean the inside of the tube, you could try a cotton swab.

I am sorry to announce that the queen has died. I was devastated. Somehow the brood had a fungus growth which kille the queen. :(  :( She had shown much potential.
