Hello,

I'm looking for a new owner and caretaker for my M. Mexicanus colony. The queen is 3 years old and lays consistent number of eggs each year. Colony currently has about 10 workers, a few repletes, and bunch of eggs and larva. Housed in a Tar Heels 360 Nucleus which I bought for $125 originally. Located in San Diego and would prefer local pickup.

Thanks,

Tony

If they have only 10 workers, they are way too small for that nest.

Colony count waxes and wanes over the year. There have been as many as 200 workers and 10+ repletes. They are hard to move so I left them in that nest.
