Hey everyone this will be my second journal for my second colony I caught this queen last summer can't remember when but it was by the end so she hibernated all winter and now has 7 workers, about 5-6 more pupae and a lot of larvae and eggs. I fed them 1 small drop of honey and I cut a small piece of mealworm. I now placed 5 sunflower seeds in their test tube(do they eat sunflower seeds?) Anyways here are two poorly taken pictures sorry.

Around 100 workers(I think).

I see I already see some bigger and more plump larvae but i guess its just bigger workers

Also can someone help me I'm trying to upload some pictures from my iphone but it says I'm not permitted to do so even tho i've done it in the past
