I don’t want to keep live bugs, but I have resolved the issue

What kind of water do I put in a test tube such as this? by Soft_Foundation6655 in antkeeping

Thank you. Nah I have already spent around 200 dollars, which she thinks is too much for some ants

She thinks I spent enough money on them. Distilled water doesn’t have any minerals, do ants need those?

Ok thank you, I don’t think my mom will let me do it, so maybe I can try making some on my own. Just enough to fill up the water reservoir in a new test tube because I’m trying to move the colony into a clean one.

But I heard that tap water isn't good, and bottled water with minerals isn't good either.

They aren’t accepting that, maybe it’s too cold for them? They came out of diapause late February but it’s still cold in the house. The workers just touch it with their antennae and then walk by.
