June 28, 2020: The First Nanitics
This queen has 5 workers, and 3 about to eclose. Expecting more workers, and probably a move soon once they all start biting at the cotton.

Another Death:
Unfortunately another queen has died. The tip of her gaster has some mold, which spread to some of the larvae. When I moved the test tube, she was attached to the cotton, maybe she got stuck? There's also some colored liquid that seeped into the cotton from her jaws. Will have to keep an eye on the other colonies more often to see if they die randomly. Now we're down to 2 queens.

The Second Queen:
This queen looks to be doing fine right now. She has some brood, but I still have some waiting until the pupae get ready to eclose.
