Queen ants are truly fascinating little creatures, and caring for one during the early stages of colony growth is such an enjoyable experience! At the beginning, it's very important to provide a suitable environment for her to establish a healthy colony. A warm, dark space is ideal, and you should avoid disturbing her too much. Providing water and offering small amounts of food like honey or protein sources is key, as she'll need energy to lay eggs. Patience is necessary, as the early stages can take time, but seeing the first workers emerge is such an exciting moment!
