New Queen ant.

I just today brought a new Lasius niger 10-20 workers from queen ant shop as I found my queen dead today and I wonder when I get them shall I connect them straight to the formicarium? will they find their way to the foraging box through the nest and find the food I placed their for them?

It depends on what type of set up you have for them, but either way should work

[Wood~Ant]

Niger workers are really good at foraging for food, so once they settle into their nest they should start to hunt.
