A lot of these have died, so I only have three left now. They got their first workers about two weeks ago. Now the three I have left all have about 10 workers or so.

I had two of these colonies going (the third one I sold), but found one with a dead queen today so I now have one remaining colony with about 12 workers.

Hey how is this last colony doing? I am really curious also because I caught my own queen of this species on that same trail. Really hoping she does okay because just like you I have wanted this species since I found out about them.

It's gone. I found the queen decomposed the other day.
