So my Pheidole constipata queen got her first worker, only one. Iv'e read before on some of the several Prenolepis imparis journals that small ant species don't forage when the colony is at X workers. I don't believe it's 3 workers but a little more. I'm afraid that the colony may not get enough workers to pass the number required to forage and will starve. Is there any way around this? I also believe that even below this number the colony will still accept sweets such as honey or sugar water? How should I approach this situation? Can someone give me an estimate on how many workers needed to forage for a species this tiny. If I got something wrong please correct me. Thanks is advance!
