Comments on: Ant Farm Update #1 http://www.sciencepunk.com/v5/2008/05/ant-farm-update-1/ Kicking ass in the name of science!

The cover does need air holes. If the queen tries to escape, let her fly off, then find another one. Without a queen, the rest of the ants will want to leave. Gotta feed those guys - tiny pieces of apple and bananas will make 'em happy. Want a cool ant farm, just dig up the whole damn colony you found, including the queen. The cover does need air holes.

The ants have would have no reason to start a colony and dig tunnels otherwise. I'm sure you could find some kind of "ant starter kit" thing with a queen online. Ya, you’ll need a queen.

Get a pipette, and use it to put a few drops of sugar water into/around your starter tunnels. That should start them digging with any luck, allegedly.
