Hey G33ks,So a while ago, I made this post about that my girlfriend and I where going to start antkeeping.
And a few weeks ago, we managed to get our hold onto some Queen ants as shown in these videos:

First of all, the Queens are still alive, which for me is a HUGE indication that they are actually queens and now alates :)
Here are some pictures of one of the queens, from about a week ago:

(Photo made by my girlfriend)[/caption]After about a week they layed eggs!(?).. although I'm not 100% sure of it. but I guess time will tell.[caption id="attachment_1173" align="alignnone" width="648"] The ant being busy with her eggs(?). (Photo is crap, I know)[/caption]So yes, that's about it for now... I don't see any major progress for now (the "eggs" seem to still be "eggs"), but I will keep you guys updated!G33k Out
