I Kept Fire Ants For 100 Days, THIS Happened
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Prepare to be astonished as you follow the extraordinary 100-day journey of a single fire ant queen and a handful of workers, who transformed into a formidable force that demanded careful containment. Join me as we rewind time back to day one, and step by step, witness the astounding evolution of this fire ant colony.
Day One:
Day one - a fresh start with a new queen from Ant Antics after the passing of the previous queen. A modest beginning, with just a few workers and minimal ant brood. The magic unfolds as luck favors us, allowing the transfer of ant brood from the old colony, providing a vital boost.
Week 1:
Fast forward to week one, and the colony has already grown to approximately 30 workers. The queen has laid a new batch of eggs, a promising sign of her comfort and the colony's health.
Week 5:
By week five, the colony was around 70 workers. The queen's productivity is evident as she sits on growing layer of ant brood.
Week 8:
Fast forward to week eight, and the colony has outgrown its original nest. A larger outworld is introduced, and their preferences for food are tested, revealing their love for 'blue sugar snaps.' The first major workers make their appearance!
Week 12:
Week twelve arrives, and it becomes evident that the original nest can no longer contain their expansion. The colony's insatiable demand for space leads to the thriving hub of their nest being the old feeding area, now warmed by a heat cable.
Week 14 - Day 100:
Suddenly, it's week 14, marking 100 days of remarkable growth. The once tiny colony, consisting of a queen and a few workers, has outgrown its home. The move to the all-new Wakooshi Modular Nests with preparations for expansion already in place.
The delicate task of relocating the colony begins, revealing its astonishing size. In just 20 minutes, the entire fire ant colony migrates to their new nest.
The reality within the new nest is breathtaking, with a fire ant population beyond imagination. Maintaining this thriving colony now presents a daunting challenge.
Join me on this adventure and subscribe for updates as we witness the incredible story of this rapidly growing and evolving fire ant colony. The next chapter in their journey awaits, and only time will unveil their fascinating tale.

This video makes me wish I made my nest for my fire ants more visible to see how big they truely are, I believe I only have a few months left before the whole container is filled with fire ant larvae leaving no more hiding spots in the coconut husk for the brood to hide

Hi guys

I remember getting a expensive ant colony, getting all the food and stuff for them, just for not getting the ants I bought. I gave up after a few times of paying but nothing for it.
ur video was so amazing am goin to cry!!!!
Wakooshi Saturn or Antstore Combo Outworld?? 💪🏻
Ive been wondering if fire ants live in paradise california because fire ants are my dream ant colony because they grow FAST and it is satisfying to watch them grow an empire, so if you live in Paradise California and see fire ants LET ME KNOW ❤
so buetiful nature is so nice why are we hurting it
I been having my Ant colony for 4 months And they Have there queen And I’m giving them worms and Dead Animals.
Can we please get 200 Days?

Did you literally just grab the old setup swarmed with fire ants out? How did that go? Also how bad is a sting from these guys because I have yet to be stung and kept them for 3 years growing in the thousands..
Update?

I played this at the graveyard and it revived my dad and mom who are dead and sister thank u😃
Man…we better hope some maniac isn’t breeding these and selecting for size just for the lolz. One nuptial flight and the land vertebrate era would be on its way out.
So cool
Wow 😮
Clasic mr beast trope 1.the voice 2.thumb nail 3.$money$ 4.title
so 8 months ago i found an huge colony with a lot of queens i mean A LOT so i have to fight back cuz they in my plants they were armys and i can't water the plants

Why do you call them "vergaz"?
So it’s 2am on a Monday morning & I have never been so interested in ants 😂❤
It's a good video would have like it even more if it was longer 👍
