I am just getting started with ants, and have two solenopsis molesta queens in tubes now. I have been a reasonably successful beekeeper for several years, so I figured I'd give ants a try.

Welcome to the forum! That's a pretty nice find, I lived in the Bentonville area myself for several years and never came across molesta, I wish you luck with those tiny ants.

I have tried to get a crematogaster colony started for a couple seasons now, with no luck. I caught one last year, and she did fine for a few weeks. Then she ate all the eggs and died.
This one literally fell into my lap. She landed on me. Talk about luck.
