They were off heat for a couple weeks but I recently put them back on and the brood is beginning to grow extremely quickly again.
Some decent pictures:

I thought I updated this recently but looks like I didn't. I've been feeding 10-40 large mealworms and 8-16mL of sugar water a day. They have been growing slowly but surely and continue to be very aggressive.

They dried up (even though there was condensation in the nest) and lost well over 1000 workers. I decided to put an end to them and freeze the colony. I moved them one by one into this foraging area and put them in the freezer.
