My Queen Fire Ant Moving Into Avatar Floating Mountains

Join the Great AC SENATE to get access to new perks/voting powers on this channel:
/ @antscanada
With our massive fire ant colony, the Phoenix Empire, moving into their vast new kingdom, their Avatar Floating Mountains Paludarium, called the Ember Islands, it was only a matter of time before the colony's queen moved into one of the floating mountains. The only problem was I needed to watch her move in so she didn't slip into the waters and get eaten by our fish. The epic wait for the royal queen was truly one of the most difficult but satisfying experiences of my life as an ant keeper. Hope you enjoy this week's video! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.
