Hi, was wondering what ant species in Ontario Polygynous and when their nuptial flights would be. I always wanted a colony with multiple queens and if someone in my area is selling a  Polygynous colony please contact me.Thanks in advanced

1. Using proper Grammer will lead to more replies. That is quite the run on sentence...

2. Prenolepis imparis is a terrible beginner ant. I don't believe there has been a single successful colony in the anting community.

3. Polygynous colonies in your area are a bit more rare than down south. Your best bet would be a Myrmica or Ponera Pennsylvanica colony or a polygynous Formica colony.

Not trying to be a 'debbie downer' but limiting yourself to colonies with multiple queens in Ontario doesn't make too much sense.
