Has anyone had a P. imparis colony for more than a year? I have heard that they usually die out because they the queen won't lay a second batch of eggs.

I don't know about you guys, but all of my 6 P. imparis colonies don't lay in batches; It's just a steady, constant stream of eggs that the queens lay. I'm also able to see brood in all different stages at once.

Hey goldsystem. :) Long time no see. I'm interested, what's your colonies worker count, and is it single queen?

Hey TC! Ya it has been awhile, I need to start being active on here again :D it's a single queen and the worker count looks to be around 40-50 :)
