So I plan on getting some Myrmecocystus tenuinodis, and I know decently how to care for honeypots in general. But I wanted to nail it down, as I know they can die easily. Can anybody help me?

Well, there is literally nothing on the Internet about them. There were no results when I looked them up.

Welp, I put honeypot into the search bar and dove deep into the forum looking for guides. Unfortunately it’s basically a roulette to see if they don’t die on random from what I take. At least that’s what I got from Drew’s journals, as that is the closest thing to care guides on here.

I guess I will just make a post on generally how to care for honeypots.
