Monthly update April.

Still growing well. Brood production has picked up and I also increased protein intake

Colony is nearing or over 500 workers soon

The majors are getting bigger. The biggest major shown in one of the pictures is almost as big as the queen with a goofy looking head

Very nice amount of brood you have there.

And these big majors are beautiful.

Hi, at what point did you start feeding your queen during founding? Mine has her first worker and new brood but keeps sealing her test tube with sand.

Cool. I had a P. Badius queen but after about 2 months she never really got going so I figured she wasn't fertilized and I let her go. They are so cool looking.
