This is a slideshow I did of the colony from this past summer. I kind of miss them. Time goes by pretty fast...

Care to enlighten me about how you got it working? I copied and pasted the embed code like it said
Fuscatus: You mean males? There were around 60-70 I would say. The box was packed full of them when I returned from vacation. No sign of any females or female remains left at all. It's really a shame that something went wrong with them. It must have been the queen died after all the usurpations or something, so they raised a whole bunch of males

Lol, they were not captive. I simply caught the queen and her nest very early on, and put them in the box. They were free the whole time, just like a wild colony. I was just able to photograph everything because it was in my box
