Won't be much of a journal for now. However, on August 29th of 2016 I found two winged alates in the pool.
One queen took off one wing, the other left her wings on. However, both queens have laid eggs and have their own pile they take care of. I moved them three days ago into the garage with my ant heat lamp, because the eggs were growing way too slow. I have noticed the eggs have already started getting bigger. So, that made a big difference.
I plan to use this species (if they get workers) for my Antscanada nest that I'm getting next month. It'll be the omni nest large, that comes with that all in one pack.
