I have messor barbarus colony, and they r were really healthy..But today messor queen started to walk around on the outworld, she is trying to escape. I'm afraid of dying. What can I do? What could be the problem, can any one help us

Can you post a picture of your set up?

How many workers?  How often do you hydrate nest or feed them?  Is there water available in the outworld?

[Elraen]

Maybe 100 + workers. 2-3 majors.

 

They have water in test tube. ( new test tube )

 

They have seeds.

Workers r trying to catch her for bring it back to test tube. They did it well twice but queen escaped.

 

And now i realized that she has one antenna.. Vouv, this is my favorite and old colonie, why its happing i really don't know.. I hope she will survive but she looks like in trouble. 

 

Maybe i can put her in to the test tube and plug off enterance.Should i do that ?

So the workers are basically rejecting the queen or what?

Do you keep them in the light? If so, cover the test tube. This will make it more comfortable for her.
