Hello everyone. I recently posted a video of my new founded tetramorium colony. I have 12 of them I wanted to wait until all have workers but decided to make this post before. All have larvae and they were caught with few days in between in beginning of July. 50$ a colony. Let me know if interested. I am in manassas Virginia. Thanks.

Good luck. One of my new queens kicked the bucket, leaving behind five nanitic orphans. RIP

Did you use the brood to brood boost another queen?

No, didn’t want to risk passing any diseases. Boosting Tetramorium really isn’t necessary in my experience.
