I have two new queens and people are sure one at least one is Pheidole. Are there any tips on keeping them and what is it best to feed them. I have experimented with mature colonies in front of my house but would small colonies like crushed sunflower seeds? Also what ratio water sugar should I use for them.

Read this carefully: https://www.formicul...view=getnewpost

Sugar water should be mixed in a 1:4 ratio.
