Colony still loving the new outworld and using the nest. Not a great deal is changing.

The weather is starting to cool down at night so hopefully this may make them move in to the one area.

Still getting used to my macro so here are a couple of quick pics.

The colony has not moved in to the new nest are yet, around 15 workers do hang out in it with all of the cocoons and some larvae so it is obviously suitable for some of them!!!!

The Queen has been laying a lot of new eggs and my God is the brood pile huge now. The picture below is about 80% of it and the rest is spread out in 2 other locations. I am making an educated guess that there would be many 60+ pupae and larvae.

It will be interesting what happens now that it is starting to cool down some days here. No signs of slowing yet though!!!!
