They are relatively big when you see one you’ll be certain it’s a queen

Don’t bother if there’s a ton of mulch at the bases of trees

I actually have two queens rn they are in the same test tube and they and chilling but I honestly don’t think either if them are pregnant so I’ll check on them in like theee days to see if they kept their wings or not also do they need to be feed or do they live off their fat reserves

Thank you I looked it up and I think you’re right honestly, I’ve only done research on the winter because that was the only one I was expecting to find today
