Fill the reservoir with sand, and pour some hydrostone after. Put the straw in the hole for hydration before you pour the hydostone. This is a similar design to the Chinese Bamboo nests.

try this one by attaching 2 tubes.
tube for water reservoir is bigger than the queen setup.
easy to clean up the mold.

yeah I did something similar with two plastic test tubes joined via s short piece of vinyl tubing


problem - you need meshing in front of the cotton so you can pull the second tube out to replace the moldy cotton, so maybe sponge is better.
The mesh prevents the ants from getting onto the cotton/sponge

And then you can refill the second tube once it is detached to prevent leaks

 

 

glue the mesh to the queen chamber
