The colony has 28 workers on the dot. I made a small ytong nest for them because the mini hearth xl is way to big. They've covered over half with their trash. I think  they will be comfortable in their new nest.

About a month ago, just after the colony had got their first major, I found the queen dead in the outworld. Really sucks cause I was excited about more majors coming.
