I caught and have still got 2 Black Ant Queens this summer. How many did you get? Of course, I could have picked up hundreds.

I picked up quite a few and in the end kept about 4. Tho in the end none of them ended up laying eggs.

This was actually my first time catching queens lol so there was proberly a number of thing i was doing wrong. I didnt have enough containers at the time so maybe they didnt feel comfortable laying next to each other lol, and i dont think i put enough ground into the containers for them to dig into.

Also, i used a sand/loam mix for the ground so maybe they didnt like it? maybe i would have had better results from a soil ground.

In the end all but one died, and i let the last one go. But as long as i learn from these mistakes
