Messor colony just passed 500 workers. Two years since the queen was a single founding tube. The seed chamber is finally full.

When did you move your Camponotus from the test tube to a proper nest? Mine has 15 workers and the tube is getting dark.
Morning light on a Camponotus major. 100mm macro, natural light only.

Curious how others handle sugar vs protein ratio for Asian Camponotus during strong brood growth. Sharing my log in the comments.
Public colony update: Ytong nest expansion connected, workers already moving brood.
