They've slowed down a bit with the odd weather. Still eating protein and sugars like crazy however.

Update on the large colony. Still doing well. Slowed a bit just like my other camponotus. A bit move active, but all the larvae is in the first stage.

Main colony is back to a growth period after taking a break for the summer. We'll see how long this lasts before diapause.

This colony is still in diapause, I'm hoping to move them to another nest in order to clean their current one.

Main colony is bouncing back after a pretty rough die off during diapause. The second colony in the Fortress is booming.

I moved the younger colony to a Wakooshi Gen 3 Large nest and out world. As they were close to outgrowing the fortress. (Plus it needed to be cleaned.) The older colony is doing well, should have a good boost in numbers soon.
