I have two colonies and would like to know when they get majors.

Thanks in advance!

I seen small majors the second year. Larger ones generally in the third or fourth year. Unless you brood boost like I did with one of mine.

Cheater!!!! Yeah, I read your journal... Four times. Anyways, my colony only has one biological major and I wanted to know when they would get more larger sized workers and majors. Buuuut, I don't have to worry about that until February!
And I'm off to read your journal again! Every time I'm reminded of my colony and what to look forward to. Also, why does one of your queens have the red blotch on her gaster?
