So i had 2 queens of Aphaenogaster Tennesseensis but one drowned after I pulled her out of hibernation, i have 1 queen now, i will be receiving a orphaned aphaenogaster colony from Mad Biologist tomorrow and i need some helpful tips, the colony has brood and around 50-70 workers, i was told to not introduce more than 5 at a time, and take it slow, that's pretty much all i know aside from that workers accept them relatively easy. any other tips?

For hibernation, keep the test tube angled so if a flood does occur, your ants have the high ground (I even do this with my Camponotus).
