Any colony, as long as it isn’t a single queen.

Um...well I was hoping they had more workers but I just checked and they only have 4. They do have a bunch of brood though. Guessing that's probably too small of a colony although they do have workers so it's not just a single queen.  ;)


Or did you mean a poly colony?

Poly colony is great but yeah maybe a few workers short. I would like maybe at least a 10-15 worker colony.
