If you heat the opposite side from the water tower/clover the glass, they'll move down pretty quick. Another option is to blow air into the outworld. It'll make them want to find a more suitable place to nest.

That's normal. Most of my queens chill on the wall somewhere near the water towers.

Queen laid a small bunch of eggs, also the colony had a big fat larva but for some reason it turned into a smaller larva that looks like a deflated banana 
Edit: nevermind it pupated

Been keeping ants since January of 2021
Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.
