I recently went on vacation for a week and this colony had a HUGE die off due to dehydration, before I left I had watered their nest but forgot to refill their water source in the outworld and the colony had around 70% of the colony die due to my negligence I hate myself right now.

I'm sorry for your loss. one trick i use when i know i won't be able to check on my colonies a lot is to keep them in a cooler place so they need less water.

Really sorry to hear this. This species drinks water likes it’s 1999. As long as the queen and some workers survived, they should recover fine.

Diapause update 17/10/22
This colony has recovered pretty well from the die off. At the moment they number at around 150 workers with a TON of eggs and small larvae that are being overwintered. I really really like this species and hope they survive diapause. The queen that I caught this year has also been put in diapause and I hope she survives the winter.

Sorry for the bad quality the queen was not cooperating also some of the brood
