Hey so i had two camponotus vagus colonies that where founded from this year's queens.
They seemed to he doing fine up until now.
I've been keeping them in a classic test tube set up.

So the problem is that the queens died.
Just the queens, and that just makes it even more of a mystery.

So I'm gonna try to describe how the acted and looked like before they died.

The first sign that i noticed is that the queens where unusually sluggish.
After a day or two this intensifies and now they have trouble walking, almost like their legs are softer or broken...
This kind of symptoms just keep getting worse until they just layed on their back and died.

If anyone know the cause of this it would be really helpful.
