Hi Jonathan21700,
no I didn't raise the colony from a single queen. The colony already had 50 - 100 workers (I don't remember the exact number).

Solenopsis fugax in their nest:
You should probably move them out of the tube. They look crowded

They don't live in a test tube. They live in a small nest made of acrylic glass. They have plenty of space available:
