Been at least a couple of weeks since my last post. Ants are doing great lots goin on with the hatching of the new brood and start of the newly laid brood developing so going into the cooler months a nice size to ensure safety, security and success if that means anything. Ie more ants on hand during the colder months unless it doesn't work like that.
Really interesting watching the new callow ants try and explore and a bigger work picking them up and dragging them back :-)

Colony is very active tonight all very much foraging, gathering and collecting what they can. Still lots of eggs in the nest so guessing food demand is high at the moment! Every time I lift the box covering the ant world they all go bananas and all start moving eggs around prob to get them out of the light I'm guessing!
