Awesome! And yeah Lakewood! I'm from Howell, but don't live there anymore. I've always tried to find a colony of these but I was never successful. Oh well! I can live vicariously by following the progress of your colony.
I live in Howell! haha. MILTA told me you were from my neck of the woods.
Interesting colony you have there. I just find the size adorable. Is it difficult to feed many workers in a test tube?
They are super cute, very easy to feed, the don't get agitated much and actually seem to be pretty calm. I have the tube wrapped in foil with some feet so it doesn't roll placed in a plastic container with a baby powder barrier so I just leave the honey water drop on some foil in the outworld and a dead dubia roach nymph as well. When I pick the tube up to take pics or a video I just plug the end with a cotton ball and they don't seem to mind much at all. I probably desensitized them a bit after the trauma of cracking open their original acorn.
Howell is the best place to be from 
Also, keep an eye out for Temnothorax schaumii, it's a jet black species similar to these guys you have. I've seen their workers in Howell but never a colony.
