Hi
I'm new to the forum and have just been reading the journals a bit. A lot of people seem to use blue 100, Aqua 300 etc
But when I look at the byformica website it says that it is unavailable for purchase.
Can someone tell me when it will be available again?

Aqua 300 has been discontinued (due to popularity).

Green 600 is coming back soon in a liquid-only, ready to use format.

Blue 100 is coming soon in both the powder form (for value), or ready to use gel pipettes (for convenience). Other, experimental foods, may also be on the way.

Sorry, I do not have an exact date.

Hummingbird nectar.

Edit: Sorry I thought you were referring to what I was just told was 600.

Like Drew says... Hummingbird nectar.

A real diet seems to work too...

I actually found the majority of my colonies grow at a greater rate with byFormica products with the occasional treat over a diet of crickets/ fruit flies and hummingbird nectar.
