Myrmecocystus christinae — Polygynous Honeypot Colony (3 Queens)

Myrmecocystus christinae — a smaller, elegant western honeypot ant, offered as an established polygynous colony. Several queens lay together in one nest, so your colony arrives past the fragile founding stage and ready to grow.

• You'll receive: an established colony with 3 egg-laying queens plus workers.
• Structure: Polygynous — multiple queens cohabiting, for faster, steadier growth.
• Diet: Sugars & nectar (kept available at all times) plus insect protein.
• Famous for: repletes — living storage workers that swell with golden nectar.
• Difficulty: Intermediate — warm, dry, and sugar-rich is the recipe.
