Good morning all,

I am new to this hobby. I live in Southern California with Hot, Dry summers and Mild, Wet winters. I am planning to keep a few ant colonies because there are a few types of ants I find fascinating. My favorites are the Honeypot type. I am also impressed by the leaf-cutter and harvester. I don't have much space so 3 to 4 colonies is probably as much as I can handle.

I'll be using the forums for information and will try to limit my questions to answers I can't find otherwise.

Regards,

Dale
