Hey everyone, been a while.

So my C. Vicinus colony is doing really well in their THA fortress right now, to the point where there's easily 200+ at a conservative guess and they're starting to get crammed together. Does anyone have any suggestions for a suitable step-up for them? I was considering another THA nest but those are much more expensive than I remember, so if possible I'd be interested in an alternatives. I have a flexible budget, and ideally I'd be looking for a nest that can hold 500-1000 workers no problem. Outworlds aren't an issue, I was planning on making my own.

By the way, do Vicinus from Southern California usually have satellite nests or take extra queens?

Thanks
