Getting started with a queen ant ā the perfect choice for anyone who is interested in getting into the fascinating world of ant keeping! And if you're a beginner,Ā gettingĀ a queen ant is a great way to start your ant farm without worries of them dying. Here are some of the benefits of buying a queen ant for a first-time ant keeper:
- Start Your Ant Colony Off Strong:Ā A queen ant is responsible for laying all the eggs that will eventually become workers, soldiers, and other members of the colony. Without a queen, yourĀ ant farmĀ will not survive for very long, and will slowly die out.Ā You can watch as theĀ queen communicates with her workers, lay eggs, and coordinates the colony's activities. This provides a much richer and more rewarding experience than just keeping worker ants.
- Fertilized Queen Ant Guaranteed:Ā When youĀ get your ownĀ queen ant, we make sure it is fertilized for you! After a queen is fertilized, it does not have to mate for the rest of its life! We hand-pick queen ants with desirable traits, such as productivity and being injury-free. This can help ensure that your colony thrives and is well-suited to your particular environment.
- Long-Term Ant Farm: A colony with a queen ant willĀ live much longerĀ than one without. This is because the queen is laying eggs, which hatch into larvae and then into adult ants. With a queen, you can expect your colony to be sustainable and live in your ant farm for 4-6 years! These ants will not overwhelm you as the queen produces eggs slowly, just enough for you to enjoy the experience of a long-term ant farm!
- More Social Interaction:Ā When you keep worker ants, you're missing out on a lot of the social interaction that makes ant keeping so fascinating. With a queen ant, you can watch as she communicates with her workers, distributes tasks, and coordinates the colony's activities.

- Hardy Species:Ā Queen Ants are a hardy species of ant. They are able to adapt to different environments and can withstand fluctuations in temperature and humidity (room-temp is ideal). This means that they are less likely to die off due to unforeseen circumstances, such as a sudden change in weather or a power outage in your house. Slowly grow out your colony without worries of an uncertain death.
