I captured this colony a few weeks ago and lost about 8-10 workers due to moving them around. The colony is stable now with 35+ workers 3-4 new workers and a large batch of brood (40+) This specie is quite picky when it comes to feeding but I managed to figure out what they like. Meal worms and spiders seem to be the only thing they take in for protein and most sweet liquids will do.
