Hi everyone,

Pretty much it's in the title. I have been looking for some good ant keeping YouTube channels. The most obvious one would be antscanada. He's actually the one who inspired me into ant keeping but I found he isn't the best at ant keeping. So I was wondering what other good ant keeping channels are there. I am open to all suggestions. Thanks!

Ants Australia is very good. He’s more informative instead of dramatic like ants Canada.

Ender ants is my favorite ant YouTuber, it’s entertaining but all informative at some times, ants Australia is purely based on teaching people while most others like ants anatomy, and many others are based on entertainment. Ant network is informative and teaches a lot of things, but my favorite favorite ant YouTubers are EnderAnts, Nurbs YouTube channel you can find it in his signature on here, and tarheelants but they haven’t posted in forever... except about 2 weeks ago. But they take like year breaks between videos.

We don’t talk about that

I have a YouTube channel that I make ant videos on. I try to make videos that are actually reliable and not full of random facts I make up. The majority of my videos are just clips of my ants. I am working on a new video on caring for a queen. https://www.youtube....w_as=subscriber

I've only found a few channels that satisfy me. Ant network, ant lab, brain fisher's channel, if you can even find it, and the cali academy of sciences has a few interesting ant related videos. All the others tend to get really repetitive and boring.

I like RobJ's Ants, Ants Britania, My Antics, Ant Lab. There's some really cool channels out there that need more shine, I'm always on the lookout too.

All the above are great suggestions too.
