I'll probably keep the first two posts so the first post can have business text, and seller listings may appear in the second post, or I may divide US/Global listings between the first two posts.  It's a way to organize content within this thread.

A few sellers have signed up to sell on byFormica, and I've had some tell me they already generated sales off the site! Fantastic news!

 

Google really loves the site format.  Sellers who list on byFormica can expect to be ranked very highly in organic search results for "buy queen ants (location)."  This means more buyers will find your items simply by searching for buy queen ants, along with your location, which is listed on the site as "State/Province, Country."

 

Seller signup is still open.  Please contact me to list ant colonies for free on byFormica.com!

Sellers set their own prices and terms.

 

An established colony is likely going to be much more expensive than a founding queen, also.

Usually the prices covers caring for the colony, and all the food and stuff they have been given.

The value of a queen goes up quite a bit from the time you just picked it up off the ground to the point where you've had it in a test tube in your kitchen for 3 months, feeding it and all of its workers the whole time.

The value of a queen goes up quite a bit from the time you just picked it up off the ground to the point where you've had it in a test tube in your kitchen for 3 months, feeding it and all of its workers the whole time.

And sometimes "picking it up off the ground" means taking time from work and spending a day driving 70 miles one way.

The byFormica Ant Adoption page is among the most popular for attracting potential customers from outside Formiculture.  The adoption page ranks highly in Google for people who search for buying queen ants, and frequently takes top rankings when the buyer includes the state and/or country of the seller.

 

If you have ants to spare, and would like to make some money, the byFormica Ant Adoption service is 100% FREE to use, and connects you with thousands of potential customers each month.

 

Please contact me if you'd like to be a part of this.  For the fastest response, go to http://www.byformica.com, and use the Live Chat button at the top of the page.

Also, a customer in Virginia is seeking ants.  If you can help with their request, I can get you in contact with them.
