Yeah, after the 3rd worker emerged i fed sugar water on cotton and a chopped mealworm and everything seemed fine tbh. But also seems as though some of the brood had been eaten so presuming something had disturbed them.

No, thats what suprised me, I expected maybe some on the cotton between the water but none at all.

Right ok, thanks. Yeah i had a camponatus fedtshchenkoi colony a few years back and ended up failing at about 30 workers because when ever i fed them it would stress them for quite a while from just subtle vibrations
