Do they have brood? I already know those honeypots aren’t fertile if they’re anything like the Formicines in FL.

[cokski]

they are 2023

We would be in general interested in getting some fertilized Honeypot ants with workers or at least with brood, as long it comes with paperworks shipped to Berlin, Germany.

[cokski]

they have brood already

 

and i don't know about paperworks and how to ship in berlin either

[GOCAMPONOTUS]

Do they have workers? they should if they are from 2023.

[bmb1bee]

Pictures would clear up any misunderstandings here.

[GOCAMPONOTUS]

True

[The_Gaming-gate]

they are 2023

So either you caught them very late (when I doubt they would have mated then.) or they are duds from actual nuptial flight season. The latest I imagine you catching them reliably is September which is a stretch. Then they would have over half a year to get nanitics. HALF A YEAR.

[cokski]

1 sold

 

1 more available

Do they have workers?

[cokski]

1 have 1 worker, other 1 with eggs

[GOCAMPONOTUS]

Then they are likely not well cared for as they should have way more workers.

[cokski]

that's why I'm selling to anybody can take good care of them

[GOCAMPONOTUS]

70$ is still expensive then for a neglected colony. ( Just my own thoughts)

[cokski]

if you are not buying then don't police every post here
