Ants are small creatures... but together... they can rule the world.
True but there have to be other Pogonomyrmex colonies around. Here is something unusual, but very possible. If you can introduce a callow (a newly hatched worker) from one of your other colonies to this queen, then the worker will print upon her, and the worker help her until she dies (like introducing a parasitic Lasius queen to a host colony).Well you could try to boost her, but her survival chances seem slim.

That's what I was thinking.

Oh. Sorry to hear that. Well at least you have your healthy V. pergandei queen.Well the transfer failed and now the queen is dead.
