I have obtained 9 Brachymyrmex depilis queens. I have read somewhere that they are polygynous. 
I caught them on 9/20 and put them in test tube setups early 9/21. 
 
IF they are indeed polygynous, can I still put them together?
How many can I put into one setup?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

:D

Nice!
Where did you find yours?
I found all of my queens on the driveway or asphalt.
