I'm sure CoC will be fine, hoping BB has a strong comeback.

If you paste a YouTube link, it will imbed.

Is that a mite or water on BB?

I have yet to see any mites, where are you referring to?

I have a invicta colony and I'll give you some advice. (NEVER BROOD BOOST INVICTA QUEENS)
3 reasons for this

1) invicta queens when they founds are vicious and always hungry for whatever they can get to lay more eggs, so they will eat brood

2) collecting brood from a colony near your neighbrhood is not good because it could affect whether not you catch more invicta queens

3) Florida has 3 diffrent types of fire ants so you could mistake xyloni for invicta, and fire ant queens are very particular on brood

These are all my expirences on brood boosting invicta
Plus u don't need to boost them they grow so so so fast on their own and their founding rate is almost 100 percent guaranteed. So anyway good luck with ur colony.

You guys are luky to have S.xyloni or invicta while am stuck here with BIFA,no fair.

BIFA grow and have bigger majors I think than invicta or xyloni. Maybe even bigger than geminata, and you have geminata I think in Africa. PLUS YOU LIVE IN AFRICA! Like what ant you don't have that isn't cool! Honestly bro I would kill to be in Africa right now.

[Ant-nig321]

Yeah geminata are present.the species here may look cool but don't speak so much about them,their stings/bites are PAINFUL especially Dorylus which severally invade my house but that gives me the opportunity to see their queen.my favourite species here are Meranoplus,Pheidole,Nesomyrmex,Tetraponera and Discothyrea,their appearance truly caught my attention.You also have cool species there am i right?

I highly doubt I would mistake xyloni for invicta, and that's the beauty of experimenting with invicta.. They're extremely replaceable, invasive and easy to raise. You made all of my points with that post, thank you for that.
