hey all, I bought novomessor cockerelli, and they came yesterday. 

 

They have six workers, and two large larvae with a batch of eggs. Both the queen and workers look nice and fat, I gave them a mealworm and some ant honey when I got them. I saw that they fed some of the mealworm to the larvae, and drank the ant honey almost immediately.

 

does anyone have anything they’d like to share? I’m relatively new to cockerelli.

 

 

have them at 90 degrees.
