UPDATE: 10/11/17

 

Got a second nanitic, but yeah. All the other pupae never eclosed. :huh: Pretty sure she is, not all there :db: ... if you know what I'm saying. Maybe another hibernation will do her some good? :facepalm: Maybe I will get the chance to update this after hibernation again.

 

This is one of those queens you have to question why you even bother with. :boohoo:

A third worker did eclose, but she apparently didn't like it, because after her first few steps the queen killed her. I happened to be walking by to see it. So brutal. I don't know what's up with this queen but apparently she's a full time cannibal. I'm losing interest in this queen for sure.

I'd brood boost, you've got nothing to lose really.


I accidentally froze all my ants

Colony emerged from hibernation, only to find all the workers dead. I'm not putting up with it anymore. Since it is fertile, someone else wants to give it a go. I'm going to give it to them as a freebie.
