I would stay away from them as they are not supplying fungus boosts with their queens and without the fungus boost those queens are almost certainly not going to be viable for producing a colony.

Anyone seeing this please avoid Antstopia. They send out unhealthy colonies and don't really own up to the misatke. No "out bad" or "We're sorry" just "sorry this happened" and then say the colony didn't have said problem when shipping them out. "They had brood when I shipped them" when not one egg or larvae is seen.

The colonies they sell are mostly neglected and from last year. By this point they're colonies should have 50-100 workers and not 1-5

that's why I tell keepers to buy ants or colonies when they are fresh from this season. You need to know when certain species have nuptials. You never should buy second year neglected colonies or during off season.
