G'day All.
I was just wondering if anyone would be able to teach me how to remove queens or brood from a mature colony.
Cheers

Most ant keepers get their colonies from newly mated foundress queens, which have a much better long-term survival rate in captivity.

If you've enjoyed using my expertise and identifications, please do not create undue ecological risk by releasing your ants. The environment which we keep our pet insects is alien and oftentimes unsanitary, so ensure that wild populations stay safe by giving your ants the best care you can manage for the rest of their lives, as we must do with any other pet.
Exotic ants are for those who think that vibrant diversity is something you need to pay money to see. It is illegal to transport live ants across state lines.

Black lives still matter.
you dig the nest out and dump all the ants you find in a bucket although it is sometimes hard to do with colonies that nest in wood/pavement
