1.Hello, I am looking for an Prenolepis imparis queen where should I go looking for them?

2.I am also having another dilemma should I poach a queen from an existing colony or is this bad ? and if not bad how should I do this?

3. is there a way to attract queens to the surface?

4. Is this month a good month to look for queens or am I too late what should I do?

1. I am new to this hobby as well so Idk

 

2. That isn't possible unless there is a colony move, and she would NOT survive without a few of her workers as she is past the founding stage (P. Imparis is fully claustral) so, no its not good.

 

3. Not really

 

4. Late Feb - March/Early April are the months P. Imparis usually fly

 

and for care here is a journal by Nathant2131 (click the name)

 

Also, as a side note P. Imparis isn't the honeypot ant, its the false honeypot ant (or the winter ant), just to clarify, not trying to be rude.

 

And they can have multiple queens in one colony (Polygyny)
