Current tube is getting pretty dirty. Trying to get them to move. I'll be able to get better photos when they move.

The majority of the colony has moved. Just waiting on a few stragglers.

Oh hell nah! I just got some queens. All have their wing, though I saw some mate.

Caught three new queens the other day. I also bought some of those markers beekeepers use to mark queens, I figured they wouldn't hurt ants (I tested on some infertile queens, they're fine, so I assume they're safe to use).
The current colony's queen doesn't have any markings. She'll be queen #1
Of the new queens,
Red marking: queen #2
Green marking: queen #3
Blue marking: #4
The three new queens are being housed together. Once their colony grows to a decent size (20-30 workers, maybe), I'll combine the two colonies.
