you should have never put those campontous together. Your clearly only doing this all for the money at this point and don’t care for the ants. You also give out a ton of false information and trick your fans into buying your “professional ant keeping equipment” which is just plastic toys for ants to be kept in.

As an exterminator, carpenter ants always start colonies in moisture damaged soft wood, then start expanding into sound wood. They are also known for forming satellite colonies, which means they have multiple nests but only one queen. They transport their larvae from the main nest to one of the satellite nest and raise them there.

He said like a few months NEVER mix a colony because it is cruel and inhumane. Yet he makes a vid of putting camponotus together which most species of campontous aren’t even poly. He is only doing this all for the money at this point and it’s a known fact in the ant community. People who only watch AC don’t know anything about keeping ants. There’s a lot more to keeping ants.

Ants almost never carve their nest into fresh wood. Its really hard, and it takes long. I suggest trying rotten or at least a very soft type of wood, they like that. If you put wood in water for a long time (idk how long) it will be soft.

Soaking the wood and putting it through several freeze/thaw cycles could soften it up too. When the water in the wood freezes it expands the fibers a little. Let it thaw, soak it again, then freeze it again.

I had a really good interaction with an ant once... it craned its head a bit, so I bopped it on the antenna gently. It fully extended its antennae and moved back a bit, before "tactically retreating" to its larger fellow workers and bringing them over. Ah, a younger sibling grabbing its older siblings to get a stranger... so adorable. They all proceeded to check and make sure I was not dangerous, and upon clearing my inspection, they allowed me to feed them with a little bit of jelly. I guess I'm a worker now as well, eh? I always bring a little jelly now daily to feed my ant buds... God damn ants and their being so damn cute...

Carpenter ants typically nest in the dead or decaying wood of trees, stumps, and logs... Yes, houses, sheds, and lumber piles can become targets so they have a low chance of living in the good wood. Edit: i like the name redwood warriors for colony 7.

Impossible, the males will die out in a few weeks as the guys above stated.

Colony 5 is already screwed and will inevitably die out no matter how much maintenance Mikey gives them.

10 months late but I have an idea for if you ever do the cross colony into super colony experiment again, instead of letting them just wander out of the tube into a larger common area, introduce each one to your housing units (I forgot what they're called) to each colony with food, then tie those housing units to the common area so each of the colonies can gain the confidence to actually go out, and have space to grow appropriately, as well as add the buffer incase an ant of a different colony goes into the wrong hole again (giggity)

To answer the first question on what to do with the other colonies, I agree that you should raise them until they are strong enough to be in the wild. The more native ants out there, the better to counter the power of the invasives. As for the names of 1 and 7: Colony 1 - I think Colony 1 should be called the Gardeners and the Queen Sonya, in reference to Sonya's Garden and naming them after the place is our way of thanking Sonya for allowing you to have a place to stay by the new Ant House while it's being constructed. Colony 7 - For Colony 7 either the 7-Elevens (the workers are the franchisees; the queen is the one in charge of it all, call her Slurpee) or the Lumberjackpots could work as well, a play on the word Lumberjacks and Jackpots combined since they're the lucky number, the first to grow and prosper, and lucky enough to get a new home.

@JonathanYeets 2 жыл бұрын
I feel like Colony Seven would be Mirkwood due to their original divergence from the Sindarin. (Seven being a different species of ant.) For those that don't know: they originally developed a language that was so different it was barely intelligible to the Sindar and Noldor, though by the Third Age is was almost forgotten. Along with their symbiosis with the Avari, a group of elves that-by elven standards-could pretty much be considered savage due to them never making the journey across the sea.

Hey as an exterminator who has to deal with carpenter ants quite a lot I could suggest an alternative to wood. Most species seem to favor insulation foam board as it is easy to dig but very structurally strong for them. It also cleans easily :)

I see a lot of other people have said what I immediately thought as well; I think you may want to consider dampening the wood for the ants, see if that helps them burrow. I do also agree that it is probably a little early for them to leave.

Hey! I have some information regarding the lack of digging into the wood, Ive Carpenter Ants before, one colony for several years. I performed a few experiments, and found that Carpenter Ants prefer wood that is Moist, as dry wood, is difficult for them to burrow into. To clarify, they are perfectly capable, the difference being, moist wood has more "give" its easier to pull apart and work with, and a nest can be much more rapidly dug and developed, much more ideal , and minimizes the time the ants need to spend away from home to dig, especially a colony so young, while there's a considerable amount of workers, the ants may choose not to take the risk, and seek out soft, moist wood, as dry wood, has almost no "give" and takes the ants much longer to burrow into, which isn't ideal in the wild. They may very well burrow into this wood, but likely as a last resort, and will take them much longer to terraform to their liking Perhaps a softer and/or Dampened wood would trigger the burrowing, from here they generally do move into harder wood to better protect the colony I hope this helps! Edit: REALLY bad spelling lol

Personal opinion of the names playing off each other. Some have suggested Yin and Yang, others Mirkwood and Lothlorien.

Honestly, queen five might still have a chance. Transfer some eggs from the healthiest colony to her. She'll tend to them and hatch workers who will tend to her while you choose what to do next. There could be a way to connect her formicarium with another. Perhaps colony 8 who is recovering. They were hit the hardest and might be the least aggressive. Keep a barrier between them, like a mesh, and allow them to get used to the smells of both queens. When things seem placid enough try connecting them to the same outworld like when you first tried to mix queens or simply remove the barrier. Otherwise queen 5 will just eventually die. This technique of using a barrier until the scent of a foreign queen is accepted is used to introduce a new queen bee into a bee hive. This really should have been the method used to try and merge the colonies. Keeping a barrier between them all for a few days or so first. Paused the video to post this when you first brought up queen 5 so no clue if this will be brought up later in the video.

That's pointless, do you not know the average life expectancy of a worker ant? It sounds like it'll probably work but I have serious doubt it would, she most certainly would recognize that those eggs don't belong to her due to colony scent and will eat them. Even if it would work AC can't keep grabbing new eggs from other colonies over and over.
