Greetings!
Recently, I found a colony of P megacephala and I also caught new queens. The colony I collected laid loads of eggs, had workers and all… but I gave them liquid food in the tube. Then, the food got into the Cotten, and the tube flooded, killing all but 3 workers, one queen, and two alates. I also have a colony that recently enclosed nanitics… should I give the young colony the old colony’s queen? Would that kill the young colony due to the fact there is more queens to protect and more eggs to care for? What should I do?

Thanks in advance,
FloridaAnts
