It honestly depends tho. Here in Oregon we only have a few honeypots that are rarely on sale. I’ve waited for I’ve 2 1/2 years to find them in stock. In Europe you can just buyYou guys are so lucky having these ants. Honeypots have always fascinated me. They are ridiculously expensive over here.
Good luck with the colony, please post frequent updates.

Funny thing is that Oregon doesn't actually have M. semirufus. It's an error on Antmap's part, where they listed the synonymized M. semirufa (=M. kennedyi) as M. semirufus.
So it looks like we have 5 larvae now, as well as plenty of eggs.
