EGG! Finally got another egg. Been a long wait but finally this colony can start growing again. I think my frequent fruit fly feedings are working.

I also noticed the queen has stopped hanging from the ceiling and is back on the water tower.

Got lazy and didn't update this. Colony's eggs vanished. One of the queens has cocoons. The other still has eggs. I also caught another testaceus and a black sp.

Well....screw pots. Good queen I caught died, so I donated cocoons to my old colony which is now dying. Black pot is likely infertile. RIP this journal, my pots, and my money.
