11/6/16 - Hibernation of 2016

---------------------------------------

My poor pogonomyrmex queen... if only Zero would have offered to have brood boosted with you...

 

I didn't do a single correct thing with the Pogonomyrmex this year. She's a trooper...

Jokes on you sucker, I've got 4 Christmas trees, and I will put them all up!!!!!!

 

Go to a garage sale and say you only want to buy the one tree...then the others come apart of the package! I might do a real tree this year...I keep telling myself I should do one sometime. Never have had one before so first time for everything!!

 

...that's the dirty corner of my basement... Turn slightly to the left and a pinball machine/bumper pool/ projector screen would come into view.

12/8/16 ---- DEAD

-------------------------

 

Cleaning the cats poop box, checked in on the ants. The Pogonomyrmex queen was found all rigid and dead like on the top of the farm. Tet queen is crushing it though that's in the other journal. 

Ya' done good, tater. ..nah you actually didn't do anything. Ya' lived, tater. Ya' tried. 

And I will try next year. NOW I can actually assemble a Pogonomyrmex tank correctly, regardless of adult beverages!
