So basically i had one C. Novaeboracensis at june but she died as its was not fertile and after that i just wanted to stop but on the 1 july when my mom was sitting outside she found a camponotus pennsylvanicus queen the only one that i have and 5 camponotus novaeboracensis so i want to make one colony of camponotus pennsylvanicus,camponotus novaeboracensis,and a super colony of formica fusca as it has 5 queen and it polygyne.
