Small Stick Nest Starter Kit by Canada Ant Colony

The Small Stick Nest by Buckeye Myrmecology is a flexible nest designed for ant species that naturally inhabit small, narrow spaces. It serves as an ideal founding nest for medium-sized species like Camponotus in the Myrmentoma subgenus, or even as a mature nest for Temnothorax species. Genera such as Colobopsis, Crematogaster, Pseudomyrmex, and Tapinoma can also be accommodated at various sizes. Measuring 7mm in width and 6mm in height, it mimics their natural nesting environment while providing ample space for queens. Despite its small size, this nest is durable and can last over a year for species that nest in sticks. It comes with various accessories, including test tubes, a clip-on macro lens, steel-tipped tweezers, liquid feeders, a pipette, and Fluon. After use, disassemble and hand wash in hot water, then let it dry and reassemble. This product is from Canada Ant Colony, with their full catalog available at https://canada-ant-colony.com. Nest capacity is estimated, with recommended worker quantities being at least double or triple the bare minimum. For small, medium, and large ants, the nest can accommodate 9-1000, 6-360, and 3-120 workers respectively.
