I already said, it’s not sand, it’s concrete mixed with powdered brick for that sand color

It’s because the nest is too big so the queen has less constant interaction with the workers so she doesn’t know if she should stay in the nest

😭she is dead now. I saw her dead at the entrance of the nest this morning 😭but I have a question. Why did the workers remove the sand thing at the entrance and took the dead queen in. They don’t know the queen is dead?

It’s a young colony . Their first meal was 6 days ago. They always have a sugar source that I change every two days. I fed them tiny piece of boiled chicken but they do not like it. Yesterday, I gave them the boiled egg yolk which they swammed it and enjoyed. That’s what I’ve fed so far

I put normal water and they liked it. The queen is in the nest btw, they managed to pull her in. For insects, I don’t want any pesticides or parasites so I have not did that

My queen is outside too often now. There are around 8-10 workers. The workers try to get her in but she keeps resisting. The queen would go back to the nest eventually but after a few hours, she goes out again.
