I have around 150 founding queens right now :/

At least you are selling them. Right?

 

Most yeah, N. flavipes will take a while to sell though, even at $5 per founding colony. I've gotten a lot more efficient at feeding though so it should only take around 30-60 minutes to feed everything as long as I don't spend too long on a single colony.

 

Same here. If I don't spend too much time watching any one colony I can usually get done within an hour.

No can do. Even though I just have 3 colonies, I always manage to find something to watch in my colonies. From running around with another worker’s head in its mandibles to demonstrating threat behavior to a feeding dish full of dead crickets and Dubia roaches, there’s always something!

Always try new things, even if its hard, hard is not impossible. We are smart and it's good to be smart but not too smart for your own good.

 11-50 is quite the jump..... So isn't 101-1000 and it's also oddly specific.
