Hi bhoeschcod
This is what I love to see; people conducting research to find their own knowledge and conclusions. ;D
I look forward to hearing of the results. Good luck, mate.

I look forward to the results of this, I always noticed that some ants liked light more than others, so the results of this might show something interesting

I have tried this before last year altough both the queens died the one in light still laid eggs but not as much as the one in darkness but when they were laid they did develop quicker. The species was Lasius Niger.

Okay so far the light is working but dark is better as she almost has larvae the other has three small eggs.

Does this mean I could keep a colony in the light in a test tube?

Probably. But, I recommend in Dark at first until she is settled.

No, I thought it was light. Thats why they place the Brood in the Tubing of Captive nests?
