It's best to not do a checklist for this type of poll. Try a regular one.

Well, I haven't been keeping ants long enough to make any distinctions over the survival rate of my queens.

I find the type of ant can skew this a bit... I had 100% success with my Tetramorium (so successful I had to give a bunch away last year as didn't need 11...)
