I Kidnapped A Queen Ant From Its Colony
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Today I kidnapped a queen ant from my massive big headed ant colony!
They were being stubborn and did not want to move her out of the old nest so I needed to step in and take matters into my own hands!

Ants 🐜 are very smart, they protect the Queen 🐜 instinctively it's like they know without her nothing would survive or exist they'd die off.

I think the reason they didn't move the queen is that the old nest still suited their needs better and was still the main nest. Or they were using both nests because their colony was just that large. I'm sure you agree that physically moving the Queen yourself is a last resort for if you need to get ants out of an old nest so making them want to move instead is usually a lot better and its always worrying when the stubborn ants have other plans.
@LightsCameraAnts
Жыл бұрын
Yeah it was definitely a last resort for at least a couple reasons. Their old setup was a maze of tubing and it didn’t look all that organized. The other reason was because I needed their old nest for another colony rather soon. I’m hoping I can prepare to move them soon!

Just imagine, this Queen births that entire colony... I wonder what would happen if we put another building next to it and expanded the house? She'd grow it... I wonder how many colonies it would take for another Queen ant 🐜 to be born?

@@jaywerner8415 actually the queen does lay princess eggs. the queen lays an egg that naturally have more of this insulin like protean in their bodys, and the worker ants will feed and fertilize them better eventually becoming a Queen. also the queen selectively chose which eggs get fertilized. the fertilized ones will become infertile females, unfertilized will become fertile males (called a drone) and the males only purpose in life is to mate with the queen and die shortly after
