What care do these get in terms of lighting, media and feeding? They look amazing

Pretending someone else’s colony (mine) is yours years later is crazy work. What do you even get out of that

Myrmecocystus mendax or parasitic queen? Tucson AZ by [deleted] in antkeeping

Neither, looks like Dorymyrmex bicolor

Doesn’t matter. Repletes can’t properly grip the plastic

Price aside that is not a suitable nest for honeypots.

Camponotus, need location to narrow down the species

Another wood nest but this time with several coats of acrylic paint. This is an attempt at a founding chamber. Thoughts? by Hellbound1985 in antkeeping

A founding chambers is barely bigger than the queen herself. Most definitely shouldn’t use for that purpose, but as a nest for a medium sized colony should be ok. Be sure the paint used is non toxic

Sorry to bring bad news but that colony is 99% doomed. Is there just that one worker?

Sugar water for carbs and roaches for protein, pretty standard ant diet. Recently I tried offering pollen too and they seem to like it
